This month marks the beginning of winter hours for the Fort Caspar Museum. From October through April, the Museum reduces its hours to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and it will be closed Sundays and Mondays. Admission prices are also cut in half: $1.50 for adults, $1.00 for youth ages 13 to 18 years, and children 12 years and under are always free.

Although the Fort buildings are locked during the winter, the Museum maintains year-round exhibits and other programming inside the Museum building. There are currently two exhibits: “Troopers: Celebrating 60 Years of Casper’s Drum and Bugle Corps”, which runs through next year, and “Those Holes in the Ground: 100 Years of Mining in Wyoming,”, which will be on view through November 18th.

On weekends year-round, Fort Caspar Museum offers family-friendly activities such as the monthly “Fremont Family Fundays Hands-On Workshops” and the new monthly program “Fremont’s Story Hour.”

The Fort will also showcase two programs during the winter months:

  • Four nights of ghost hunting with the Casper Paranormal Seekers who will host “Ghost Tours of the Fort” on October 20th and 21st, and 27th and 28th.
  • “Candlelight Christmas at the Fort” will be held on the evening of Saturday, December 2nd.
