The Anna Miller Museum, is located at 401 Delaware Ave. in Newcastle, WY. The city’s status as a home base for a National Guard troop, first organized in 1899, led to the construction of an armory building. The troop became a cavalry troop in 1914. The sandstone stable, built in the mid 1930s, has been used since 1966 by the Weston County Historical Society to house Anna Miller Museum. The building was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
Visitors won’t want to miss the varied collection of artifacts and memorabilia, including five period rooms refurbished with antiques from the 1930s, the one-room Green Mountain Schoolhouse, model pioneer cabins, including the Jenney Stockade Cabin, the oldest remaining building from the Black Hills gold rush, Cambria artifacts, an exhibit of fossils, and a county store. Admission is free, and the museum is open year-round Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with additional hours on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon from June through August.
