Dayton Community Hall

The Dayton Community Hall is a community building located at 410 Bridge St. in Dayton, Wyoming, United States. The hall was built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration. The people of Dayton used the hall for community gatherings, as their previous event space at the Dayton Mercantile was no longer safe for activities. The hall was the largest such hall in the county, and the dances it hosted each Saturday night drew visitors from up to 50 miles (80 km) away. In addition to dances, the hall also hosted basketball games, Dayton Benefit Club meetings, local school events, and political functions. The hall continues to be used for local events. The hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 2005. References External links Photos from the NRHP nomination

J. C. Penney Historic District

The J. C. Penney Historic District is a historic district in Kemmerer, Wyoming, encompassing several properties associated with James Cash Penney (1875-1971). The district includes the Golden Rule Store, the first in what became the J. C. Penney department store chain, and Penney's home during the store's early years. The district was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1978, for Penney's role in creating one of the first national department store chains. Description and history The J. C. Penney Historic District is located on the southern edge of downtown Kemmerer, encompassing about 1.2 acres (0.49 ha) at the junction of JC Penney Drive and South Main Street. Located along the southeast side of South Main Street at this junction are two commercial buildings, of which the one on the right was the original "mother store" of the J. C. Penney department store chain. Both are two-story structures, the one on the left sporting a typical Western false front in front of a gabled roof. The Penney store building is built of stone and has a facade of marble and cast iron, with a flat roof. The district originally included a third commercial building which flanked the Penney store on its right; this building has been demolished. Across JC Penney Drive from the two commercial buildings is a small park, in which stands the J. C. Penney House, now a historic house museum. It is a small 1-1/2 story frame house, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It was probably built about 1900, and was home to the Penney family from 1902 to 1909. It remained Penney's property until his death in 1971. James Cash Penney, a native of Missouri, began retailing in 1895 as a clerk in various dry goods retailers. Eventually taken into partnership with one of his employers, he opened the "Golden Rule Store" in Kemmerer in 1902 at a different location on Pine Street (no longer standing). The store quickly outgrew that space, and in 1904 he moved into the left side of this building, eventually taking it over. By 1907 he had bought out his original business partners, and opened two more stores. This was the start of a business empire that had more than $5 billion in sales in the 1970s. Penney's success was eventually emulated by other firms, notably the mail-order retailers Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery Ward, which also eventually built nationwide retail chains. The retailer continues to operate a store in Kemmerer; it is located a short distance away from the historic district, at JC Penney Drive and Pine Avenue. See also J.C.

Kortes Dam

Kortes Dam (National ID # WY01294) is a dam in Carbon County, Wyoming. The concrete gravity dam was constructed between 1946 and 1951 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, with a height of 244 feet (74 m), and a length of 440 feet (130 m) at its crest. It impounds the North Platte River for hydroelectric power. Owned and operated by the Bureau, it stands as part of the Kortes Unit of the vast Pick–Sloan Missouri Basin Program less than two miles downstream from the Bureau's larger Seminoe Dam. The riverine reservoir it creates, Kortes Reservoir, has a water surface of 83 acres (34 ha) and a volume of 4,765 acre-feet (5,878,000 m3) confined to the narrow Black Canyon, which is not stocked with fish and has no boat ramp facilities. However, the five and a half river miles from the base of Kortes Dam downstream to the Pathfinder Reservoir, the Miracle Mile Area, has eleven primitive camping areas and fishing for brown trout, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and walleye.

National Historic Trails Interpretive Center

The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center (NHTIC) is an 11,000-square-foot (1,000 m2) interpretive center about several of the National Historic Trails and is located northwest of Casper, Wyoming on Interstate 25. It is operated through a partnership between the Bureau of Land Management, the City of Casper, and the National Historic Trails Center Foundation. The center offers interpretive programs, exhibits, multi-media presentations, and special events. Admission is free. History The idea for an interpretive center in Casper began with the creation of a small trails committee; eventually this committee became the non-profit, National Historic Trails Center Foundation (NHTCF). In 1992 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) joined with the NHTCF to work on the project, committing to pay half of the $10 million estimated cost. The city of Casper donated 10 acres of land for the center's site. In 1994, voters in Casper passed the Optional One Cent Tax, which helped fund construction of the center's exhibits. The Wyoming State Legislature also passed a bill to help fund the center that same year. By 1997 plans for the center were complete, and a bill to support construction and operating costs was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. The groundbreaking for construction took place on June 21, 1999, and the center officially opened August 9, 2002. Exhibits The center contains several permanent exhibits and hosts temporary, traveling, exhibits as well. Permanent exhibits are on the four trails that run together through Wyoming: The Oregon Trail The Mormon Pioneer Trail The California Trail The Pony Express Trail Entrance to the center is free.

Reliance Tipple

The Reliance Tipple is the site of two coal tipples associated with coal production at Reliance, Wyoming. The first tipple was built in 1910 and used until 1936. The wood structure was built on a sandstone foundation and served Reliance Mines No. 1 through No. 6. The perishable portions of the earlier tipple have disappeared, leaving only the sandstone foundations and some artifacts buried in the tailings pile. The second tipple was built in 1936 when Reliance Mine No. 7 was opened. The new tipple was built more durably of concrete and steel. This tipple operated until 1955, when the Union Pacific Railroad, the chief consumer of the mine's coal, phased out steam locomotives. The tipple operated as a sorting station for coal to be shipped from the Reliance Mine. Loaded coal cars filled with mined coal were moved to a rotary car dumper at the south end of the tipple. The coal was dumped into a hopper, then moved to a shaker screen that sorted the coal by size. After sorting to slack, or powdered, nut, egg and lump, the coal went to a sorting table where debris was removed by hand. The sorted and inspected coal then went to chutes and hoppers for storage. Much of this equipment remains at the site. The Reliance mines were opened in 1906-1907 to meet increasing demand for coal. The Reliance mines were among many in the area that exploited four mining districts in Sweetwater County; Rock Springs, Superior, Point of Rocks and Black Butte. The Reliance Mines were part of the Rock Springs district. Rail spurs were built to central points in each district to collect and ship coal. Production increased to the end of World War I then declined, picking up only in the mid-1930s. The second tipple was built at Reliance in 1936, primarily for Mine no. 7 as well as 1 and 4. During World War II production peaked at 1.4 million tons per year. Activity declined after that, and the Reliance mines closed for good in 1955.

Riverton Railroad Depot

Das Riverton Railroad Depot ist ein historischer Bahnhof in der 1st Main Street in Riverton, Wyoming. Der Bahnhof wurde von 1906 bis 1907 von der Chicago and North Western Railway an der 1906 errichteten Bahnstrecke Bonneville–Lander durch Zentral-Wyoming gebaut. Die Stadt Riverton entstand mit dem Bahnbau. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde auf Grund mangelnder Nachfrage der Personenverkehr eingestellt. 1974 sollte der Bahnhof abgerissen werden. Stattdessen kaufte und restaurierte eine Gruppe von Einwohnern das Depotgebäude, in dem sich heute einige Unternehmen befinden. Das Gebäude wurde am 22. Mai 1978 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Der Bahnhof ist das letzte existierende Empfangsgebäude der C&NW zwischen Casper und Lander, dem westlichsten Abschnitt des C&NW-Streckennetzes. Das Teilstück von Riverton nach Lander wurde 1972 stillgelegt und der verbliebene Bahnverkehr von Shoshoni nach Riverton im Jahr 1988 eingestellt.

Riverton station (Wyoming)

The Riverton Railroad Depot is a historic railway station located at 1st and Main Streets in Riverton, Wyoming. The depot was built by the Chicago and North Western Railway from 1906 to 1907 along a new line through central Wyoming built by the railway in 1906. The city of Riverton formed only two weeks before the railroad reached it when land in the area opened to new residents under the Homestead Act. The railroad spurred economic development in the region by exporting agricultural products and oil and creating demand for the local coal and lumber industries. When the railroad industry declined after World War II, the Chicago and North Western gradually decreased its service west of Casper, and by 1974 it was prepared to demolish the Riverton station as well. A group of Riverton residents instead bought and restored the depot, which now houses businesses. Some claim that the depot is the last surviving Chicago and North Western station west of Casper, but, although modified, the Lander station (the end of track for the C&NW's westward expansion), still stands and is currently home to the Lander Chamber of Commerce. The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.

Rock Church (Auburn, Wyoming)

The Rock Church of Auburn, Wyoming is a historic church building that has served also as a community center. Also known as Latter Day Saints Auburn Ward Meeting House, it is located in the public square at Second W and First S Sts. in Auburn. It was built in 1889 out of rough cut stone, rarely used in early Star Valley architecture. It is a steeply gabled structure, of size approximately 30 by 15 feet (9.1 m × 4.6 m). The church began construction in the summer, was hand-worked, and finished during the winter. The rectangular building stands unornamented beyond the texture of stone and an arch stating "Auburn Ward." Construction of the building costed $2,980.00 at the time and the community was considered the wealthiest in the valley for some years after construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1985. At the time of its NRHP listing, it was significant as the only building from the 1800s still in regular use in the area, and as one of the very oldest buildings surviving in Star Valley. Its NRHP nomination asserted that it "embodies the type, period, and method of construction utilized by early pioneers for buildings of major importance." The Star Valley Historical Society intended to initiate restoration following its nomination.
