Who knows Casper’s history best? Kevin Anderson, archivist at the Goodstein Library at Casper College. He usually knows the answers to my historical questions.
Best Western Bookstore: Blue Heron Books & Espresso (201 E. Second St.).
Favorite Local Event: The Beartrap Summer Festival, held on Casper Mountain every July, features Bluegrass music, food and retail vendors, and plenty of fresh air!
What’s happening in April? Rodeo! Casper College presents its Ropin’ & Riggin’ Days April 18-20 at the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds.
Best Spot to View Wildlife: Living? Casper Mountain. The Werner Wildlife Museum (125 College Dr., a short walk from the Casper College campus) will teach folks about wildlife indigenous to Wyoming.
Weather: Chilly winters, with sunshiny days. Warm and welcoming summers!
Preservation Project: Talks of redeveloping the Old Yellowstone District, between Poplar street and downtown.
Special thanks to local writer Kate Rice for sharing her love of the town with us.

my grandparents moved to casper from hingham, montana in the early 1900's...when i was a kid, who lived on a ranch 100 miles from there, it was considered a trip to the 'big city' just to get there..we went about twice a year..when i got to go to DENVER i thought it was heaven on earth....
