South Pass City
One of the most authentically restored historic sites in the West.
The place where America's true frontier heritage comes alive.


South Pass City contains over 20 original structures including jail, livery stable, school, saloons and homes. The authentically furnished South Pass Hotel will give you a realistic glimpse of what it was like to stay in the real West during the late 1800's. At the Miner's Exchange Saloon you can play billiards on a restored ca. 1840 billiard table. You can shop at the Smith-Sherlock General Store.

At the Gold Mining Interpretive Center you'll gain historic insight on the gold mining practices during the late 1800's. Costumed interpreters can be seen at times throughout the summer gold panning and black smithing.

Gold Rush Days
Every year mid July.

Enjoy a vintage baseball tournament, Wyoming State Mining Championships, food, games, music and interpretive programs. You'll be able to imagine what life was like 100 years ago in the mountains.
