The fort takes up…read moremuch of the outdoor displays including parade grounds, officer quarters, commissary, etc. One area is dedicated to the Bridger family property who ran the Trading post. This area includes a well, ice house, wash house and other out buildings. Many of the buildings have plexi-glass at the doors and windows that you look in during our visit. We were able to enter the Commanding Officers home, Bachelor Officer Quarters, the Museum and the trading post. A wooden walkway or concrete pathways make the property mostly wheelchair accessible. The trading post is across grass, gravel and a wooden bridge. A couple of signs near the Bridger property have braille. We spent a couple of hours on property and could have spent more. All staff were friendly. Plenty of local and national history. Parking is a dirt lot. Three RV's were parked long way next to the concrete stops when we arrived while cars parked head-in. Entry is eight dollars non-resident plus 3% credit card fee. Four dollars for state residents.

As the chain outgrew rural Wyoming, the company moved its headquarters to Plano Texas. But this is will always be where it started. The company took a huge hit due to COVID and the headquarters closed. The statue was shipped back here to Kemmerer and it was installed here in Triangle Square. The Bronze Penney, wearing a double-breasted suit and bow tie, was unveiled on August 28, 2021. He stands facing "The Mother Store" and only a few feet from the tiny house where he lived, which is now a museum. Penney, who lived to be 95, died in 1971. There is street parking all around.
