Archaeology Awareness Month
Celebrated annually in September, Wyoming Archaeology Awareness Month (WAAM) consists of a series of statewide activities and programs devoted to discussing archaeological issues and to educating the public about the importance of preserving and protecting Wyoming’s archaeological heritage.
Monuments and Markers
Welcome to Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails (SPHST) new searchable GIS-based Monuments and Markers (M&M) Database. This program has been created to aid the viewer in searching for information on Wyoming’s rich geological features, historical events, and people who have shaped Wyoming’s rich history.
For more information on how you can help protect these resources, please contact Wyoming State Parks’ Monuments and Markers Coordinator Mr. Dan Bach at 777-6314 or email him at dan.bach@wyo.gov
