Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2010

Summary

The Nostrum Springs Stage Station, located on the Red Canyon Ranch near Thermopolis, Wyoming, is designated part of site 48HO375. This stage station was built by the Nostrum family sometime after 1897 and serviced the stage line between Ft. Washakie on the Wind River Indian Reservation and the town of Thermopolis. The stage line operated until 1927, when a railroad went through Red Canyon. The wooden structure of the stage station was exposed by clearing vegetation in the summer of 2010. Wood from roof beams, a “cedar box,” a historic post, and a floor board were submitted for identification.
