If you haven’t had a chance to see the exceptional NEH on the Road traveling exhibit, “Spirited: Prohibition in America” and our own local exhibit “Bootlegging in the Big Horn Basin”, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the effects of prohibition on the nation and its impact on the Basin in the 1920s and 1930s. Perhaps you have already viewed the exhibits; come again to glean the information you missed the first time around. One night only – FREE admission! Both exhibits will be on display through March 16. “Spirited: Prohibition in America” is based on the exhibition “American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition”, organized by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA, in collaboration with Daniel Okrent, author of “Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.” “Spirited” has been made possible through NEH on the Road, a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. It has been adapted and toured by Mid-America Arts Alliance.

Denise Ferguson was born and raised in Worland, Wyoming. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Sioux Falls in 2015. Her emphasis was in acrylics and oils and she picked up working with pastels during her senior year. She currently lives and works in Sioux Falls.

For her Senior Art Show, Denise focused on the Somalian refugee populations of Sioux Falls desiring to bring awareness to specific people groups in their need for further education, such as ESL (English as a Second Language) classes and basic courses to build relationships, and to help them become equipped to attend college.

Art and people merge in Denise’s creative process. Just as relationships take time, trust, devotion, patience, sacrifice,

and understanding to seek truth and to love well, so also it is with her art. For her personally, art is meaningless without a story, and a story is meaningless without purpose. Therefore her work is based from personal experiences and depicting personal stories and aspects of culture, religion, and language through still lifes and portraits.

Denise’s work has depth, is colorful, realistic, and personal. Through art she strives to seek truth in the world around her in order to build bridges of understanding between what is familiar to us and that which is not. Her intent is to provoke a pursuit of understanding in a personal and relational way with something you may avoid simply because you do not understand it. She emphasizes that success in our lives is not about looking perfect and having all of the answers, but rather seeking relationships and asking questions. If her art can catch your attention even in a small way to make you think further on a subject, that to her is success.

Denise participated in the 5th Annual Mammoth Quick Draw.

Sponsors for this exhibition are: Wyoming Arts Council, Jim Davis Memorial Fund, Red Reflet Ranch/Robert and Laurence Kaplan, Herzberg Hideaway/Lloyd and Donna Nielson, The Outdoorsman/Melanie Stine, Tom and Laura McDonald

Mammoth News/March 2017 -

The Fremont County Museum System is comprised of three very different museums that share a dynamic and unique regional history — the Dubois Museum, the Pioneer Museum in Lander, and the Riverton Museum. “Wind River Visions” is a joint traveling exhibit project that interprets complex pieces of their shared regional history. The exhibit is comprised of 23 full color images of petroglyphs and picto-graphs with associated in-terpretive materials.

The Wind River Basin in North-central Wyoming is home to one of the most amazing and diverse assemblies of petroglyphs and pictographs in the world.

People have lived in the Wind River Basin for at least 11,000 years, and are the ancestors of the Native American people who still call Wyoming, and the West, home. These earliest people were on foot and using spears and atlatls to hunt Pleistocene big game such as mammoths, giant sloths, camels, and giant bison. As the Ice Age animals became extinct, the people hunted animals with which we are famil-iar today: elk, bison, deer, antelope, and a myriad of smaller game.

Eventually the bow and arrow replaced spears, and the modern horse was re-introduced into North America, leading to the development of the powerful High Plains

Cultures epitomized by the Shoshone, Crow, Arapahoe, Lakota, and other tribes.

Archaeological sites across the basin show people have thrived in the Wind River Basin for millennia. Perhaps the most evocative evidence of prehistoric people’s presence is the many petroglyphs and pictographs left on rock faces across the Wind River Country. While there will not be a formal opening reception for this exhibition, we encourage members to stop by to view and learn about the petroglyphs and pictographs of the Wind River Basin.

“Wind River Visions: Ancient Images of the Wind River Country” will be on display at the Washakie Museum from March 23 through April 22, 2017.

The museum was filled to overflowing for this year’s successful Black Tie to Blue Jeans held on February 24. Exciting and wonderful music, plus a fantastic selection of foods were enjoyed. Gillette College Energy City Voices (pictured) “rocked the house.”

Even though it was snowy and very cold outside, the February 2 Opening Reception for “Spirited: Prohibition in America” and “Bootlegging in the Big Horn Basin” was very well attended. Cecile Wiechmann warmed up the evening tickling the ivories playing Roaring Twenties music.

Michael Morrissey, Regional Business Manager, Rocky Mountain Power, presented Executive Director, Cheryl Reichelt, with a check for a $3,000 grant for the fall 2017 Musical. Thank you RMP!

notable persons who stayed with them during that period of time?

TOM: The main one I remember was Harold Stassen who ran for, I think, President at one time, or maybe a couple times.

LYNN: What was he doing in Worland?

TOM: Campaigning. Since that time, Barry Goldwater has been here and of course Debbie Reynolds stayed there in my period of time.

LYNN: We want to find out some of the reasons why businesses prospered during the depression. What do you think happened during the depression years that you think would make the Hotel prosper in Worland when the rest of the country went belly-up?

TOM: I think they were fortunate they didn’t have a payment to make. George Muirhead, Sr. was the banker at the time and was very sympathetic for any problems they had and patient. I can’t remember that dad and mother ever had a problem with payments. Of course, we didn’t have any staff. I would get up in the morning and do the morning work and my mother would relieve me when I went to school and then my dad would get up around noon and run the Hotel until midnight and then he’d go to bed and we’d start the routine all over the next day.

LYNN: What do you mean by morning work?

TOM: I’d get up and scrub the lobby and clean the public rest rooms and empty…a very distasteful job…the spittoons and ash trays, and I hated it. Laughter. I was about 10 years old, and then we used to have an old coal stoker in the basement, and it was my job to keep the stoker filled and the clinkers out.

Tom Gee, Jr. grew up in Worland and graduated from Washakie County High School in 1947. He graduated from Cornell University in Hotel Administration. Tom married Christiane in 1960. He worked hard in the community to entice new businesses and attract conventions to Worland. Tom Gee passed away in 2007.

This is a segment from an Oral History Project the Museum conducted in the 1970s and 80s. The oral histories collected are currently being reformatted to be usable by the Museum for research, exhibits, and other projects. We wish to thank Cathy Healy for helping to sponsor the reformatting and Marsha Hill for volunteering her time with the project. In upcoming Mammoth News issues, we plan to share more ‘snippets from history’ .

(Interview with Tom Gee, owner of the Hotel Washakie—conducted by Lynn Krei on March 22, 1989.)

Tom Gee’s parents ran the Washakie Hotel for many years. His father was born in Kentucky in 1883 and his mother was born in South Dakota. They came to Worland from Scott’s Bluff, Nebraska to buy the Hotel. They purchased it in 1939 from Lucky Dorman who had won it in a poker game from Dad Worland.

LYNN: What was the physical description of the Hotel at that time?

TOM: The Hotel was a wood frame building and it had two baths and both on the second floor and I can’t remember how many rooms. The lobby is pretty much the same area as it was then, but my dad and uncle immediately started the remodeling and expansion program and put in all rooms with bath.

LYNN: Prior to that time, they had privies?

TOM: They had thunder mugs, was what we called them. I don’t know what the proper term is, but it was a little china chamber pot. Of course, the rooms had a pitcher and a china wash basin.

LYNN: How about electricity?

TOM: Yeah. There was electricity when we got there. There was no central heating system. The lobby had a big…I don’t know whether they used coal or wood stove, but that was about the only heating system there. A lot of the times the salesmen would come down in the cold winter nights and spend their evening in the lobby because it was the only place that was warm.

LYNN: What were some of the examples of the rates at that time?

TOM: Oh, my gosh, I can’t remember. $3.50 was what we charged for a room with bath, I think, but I don’t know what period of time that was. We still have people come by who have stayed with us for all these years and want to know if they can get a $3.50 room with bath. There was no telephones. Of course, that was added in ‘39 when dad and uncle expanded the hotel. They put in a switchboard and each room had a telephone. It was a pretty up-to-date place in 1939.

LYNN: Now can you remember your folks talking about any
