Trails Center to host Living History event on April 27 and 28

CASPER, Wyo. – Visit the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center on April 27 and 28 for a weekend full of fashion and fun, brought to you by the Natrona County High School Junior ROTC and local reenactment group, the Platte Bridge Company.

Junior ROTC students will present “The Evolution of the United States Army Uniform,” at 12 p.m. on Saturday. From Civil War-era garb worn by soldiers stationed around mid-1800s Casper, to World War I dough boys and Desert Storm troops, the students will showcase various phases of the United States Army’s military uniforms from past to present. Presenters will also provide interpretive information from each era during the performance.

At 2 p.m., the Platte Bridge Company will take you on a trip back in time with a special presentation on women’s fashion of the mid-1800s. The Company will be on hand throughout both days with period games, letter writing, and much more.

The Trails Center has resumed summer hours! The Trails Center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and admission is always free.
