Hot Springs County Museum

Hot Springs County Museum and Cultural Center will implement the 1920 Middleton Schoolhouse Immersion Program and Online Classroom project. This project will involve developing curricula based on life and education during the 1920s in rural Wyoming, which will immerse students and visitors in an authentic 1920s school environment with school supplies, clothing, and books from the era. The project will result in a new hands-on learning exhibition in the schoolhouse foyer highlighting rural Wyoming schools. It also will create a website that will include free online curricula, an audio/video tour, and an educational video. The project will benefit Wyoming school children, the neighboring Wind River Indian Reservation, low-income and rural populations, and minority populations in the town of Thermopolis and surrounding counties.
