History & museums · Year-round
Campbell County Rockpile Museum
Gillette
The county history museum in Gillette, with cowboy gear, homestead displays, Native American artifacts, and exhibits on the ranching and energy booms that built the modern county. It is an easy indoor stop in any season.
Local tip. Admission is free. The museum is indoors and child-friendly, making it a good stop any time of year. Allow an hour to see main exhibits and historical photos.
Official site ↗Outdoors · Year-round
Thunder Basin National Grassland
Near Gillette
Thunder Basin National Grassland protects a mix of prairie, badlands and ponderosa habitat in northeast Wyoming. It's prime grassland for wildlife like pronghorns, elk and prairie dogs. Recreation includes hiking on prairie trails, hunting, and primitive camping under big sky.
Local tip. Pack water and sun protection; there are no developed campgrounds, and spring brings wildflowers and busy prairie dog towns.
Official site ↗Events & festivals · Year-round
CAM-PLEX Multi-Event Facilities
Gillette
Gillette's large events campus hosts the county fair, rodeos, concerts, trade shows, and the Heritage Center theater. For residents it is where much of the year's community calendar happens.
Local tip. Check the events calendar before a weekend; the fair in late July and pre-rodeo days draw the biggest crowds.
