CASPER, Wyo. — A “Barn Here” photo exhibit featuring unique Wyoming barns will be on display at Fort Caspar Museum from April 15 through June 27.

“Barn Here” is a traveling exhibit arranged by the Wyoming State Museum. Fort Caspar said on Tuesday that visitors will get to learn about how Wyoming barns are different from those built in other parts of the country.

“Wyoming barns differ greatly in style and function from barns in many other parts of the United States,” the museum said. “Climate, available building materials, ethnic traditions, and many other factors influence how they are constructed. Beautiful black-and-white photographs from the State Historic Preservation Office depict barns from throughout Wyoming.”

The exhibit is supported by the Wyoming Council for the Humanities.

Fort Caspar is open from 8:30-5 pm daily. Admission is $4 for adults; $3 for youth (ages 13-18 years) and seniors (ages 62 and over); and free for children (12 years and younger) and for museum members.

“Fort Caspar is located at 4001 Fort Caspar Road in Casper, and our phone number is 307-235-8462. Visit our website at http://www.fortcasparwyoming.com.”
