Once it cooled off and after Jeopardy was over (probably about the same time: 7), we took a stroll around town. Lusk was bigger than I expected.
The town was founded in 1886 by Frank Lusk. A stagecoach route went from Cheyenne to Deadwood, South Dakota from 1876 to 1887 when it was replaced by the Wyoming Central Railway.
There was a definite stage coach theme going on here!
Cary noticed this 1960 Pontiac Catalina for sale--"beautiful, an original" and just $7000. We have no way to get it home though.
I wish the library had been open. Isn't it great?
A whole museum devoted to the stage coach, also closed when we walked by.
A neat building
The quilt store was also closed, probably a good thing.
I gather this is a government office of some sort.
James Watt, Secretary of the Interior under Reagan (remember the Beach Boys story?) was born in Lusk, Wyoming!
