CASPER, Wyo. – Join the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center this weekend, Feb. 26 and 27, for free programs that will entertain the entire family.
Feb. 26 at 10 a.m.: The Trails Center will kick off its new youth journaling series Saturday. Children of all ages are invited to come build their own homemade journal and learn to journal like a pioneer. The journaling series will run through the spring and summer, with the next program occurring March 26.
Feb. 26 and 27 at 1 p.m.: Fort Robinson State Park Museum Director Ranae Calder will present “Isolated and Overlooked: The Buffalo Soldiers of Fort Robinson.” The black soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry regiments, known as Buffalo Soldiers by Native Americans, were stationed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska for 16 years. Organized after the Civil War, the regiments first served in the Southwest before arriving at Fort Robinson, where they played an important role in the history of the Great Plains.
