CASPER, Wyo. The Casper American Legion is proposing moving an existing memorial for Wyoming’s fallen soldiers from its current location along the North Platte River Trail west of the Tate Pumphouse.
Casper Parks and Recreation Director Tim Cortez told the Casper City Council on Tuesday that the legion would like to construct a larger memorial at the Patterson-Zonta Park at the intersection of 12th Street and Wyoming Boulevard across from Fort Caspar Museum.
True West Magazine
The summer of 2021 is a great time to travel across these Old West highways.
The West is a grand place to travel, and its many highways and back-country roads are a great way to enjoy its natural wonders, monuments and parks, historic towns and destination getaways. Since last year’s national pandemic shutdown, our hospitality, museum and tourism travel partners across the West have been eagerly awaiting the return of travelers. We believe the summer of 2021 is a wonderful time to get back on the road and enjoy the scenic beauty, cultural heritage and welcoming communities of the Western United States.
