FARSON A new exhibit from the Sweetwater County Historical Museum is now on display at the Eden Valley Community Center in Farson.
“Celebrating Historic Eden Valley” provides vivid images of early life in the Farson-Eden area, including photographs of the Eden Valley Hotel, the first school bus in the valley, the old Whitehair Hall, and members of the Farson-Eden Women’s Progress Club. Local residents will recognize many of their ancestral family and friends in the exhibit.
Settlement of Eden Valley began in 1907 as a result of the Carey Act. Also known as the Federal Desert Land Act, this legislation was introduced in Congress by Senator Joseph Carey of Wyoming.
