History

The Dunoir Valley is rich with history, where tie hack cabins once homed the Scandinavian immigrants that worked in the area during and between the World Wars (1914-1946). Tie hacks felled, limbed, and cut trees into 8-foot planks made for railroad ties. These logs were then sent down the Wind River (which runs through Dubois) and were then loaded into railroad cars in Riverton. This demanding trade built the American West infrastructure as Dubois became the largest tie-hack center in the United States by the 1920s. The area has deep history from the famous Butch Cassidy to Native American hunting traditions. This rich history can be explored more at the local Dubois Museum.
