Description: The Rocky Mountain Fur Trade era ended nearly 170 years ago. During that time, the Mountain Man became the first purely American iconic figure. Today, the Mountain Man is often just a character. Every May, the Museum of the Mountain Man and the American Mountain Men partner to put on "Living History Days", where students from all around western Wyoming come to learn about the "real" Mountain Man. Demonstrations focus on the day-to-day life of the Mountain Men, fur identification, beaver trapping, weapons, clothes, sign language, tipis, Indian goods, and a few tall tales.

Location: Museum of the Mountain Man 700 East Hennick Pinedale WY 82941 Open to the Public Teachers and students encouaged to attend!
