WYOMING

Last May 3, 2008 the State Parks and Cultural Resources held a public event at Guernsey State Park where many structures still exist that were built by the CCC.  The Governor spoke as did other historians and tours of the park were offered.  A photographer captured photos of the buildings and structures around the state and an exhibit of these photos have traveled the state for the past year.  In addition to this, the State Historic Preservation Office has applied for a grant to get microfilm copies of Wyoming's New Deal projects from the National Archives. From this, nominations will be made for historic New Deal buildings around the state.
