Annual Kirwin Tour

This tour offers an up-close and personal look at the abandoned mining town located in the high Absaroka Mountains. Tour participants will explore the storage/shop facilities, cabins, sheds, mining offices, various collapsed structures, assay office and machinery remaining at the location.

Although participants may drive their own vehicles, car-pooling is encouraged. High clearance, four-wheel drive vehicles are required. Tour members should bring chairs, weather-appropriate clothing and a lunch. Pre-registration is not required. However, if you do not have a four-wheel drive vehicle, the museum will help you find a ride with someone who does. Participants may join the tour group on site, but they must register with the tour once they arrive.

Tour leaves Meeteetse Museums at 8:00 a.m. and begins on site at 10:30 a.m.
