GO WEST
Nestled along the Nebraska border in southeastern Wyoming, Goshen County is the gateway to the West, where covered wagons once rumbled across the open prairies on the Oregon, Mormon Pioneer, Texas, Cheyenne Deadwood, Pony Express, and California trails. Many pioneers moved west, hoping to own land and start fresh. Traces of the paths they took can still be seen today, with wheel tracks and names carved into stone. Today Goshen County is known for its history, hunting, recreation, and agriculture.
