Butch Cassidy Would Do A Double Take

The Little Snake River Museum in Savery, Wyoming, preserves Old West history with a flair.

Sometimes you have to travel a “road to nowhere” to get somewhere you should be. Like the road to the Little Snake River Museum in a Wyoming ranching valley—a place so remote, it was a favorite hideout for Butch Cassidy, who ingratiated himself to the community with his free spending and musical talents.

Remote defines it to this day, as it’s home to three small towns in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains—Savery, Baggs and Dixon—with some 800 souls. But, oh, what those folks have done to preserve their 150-year history.
