Dubois Wy Military Museum
I posted about seeing Wyoming on another thread and it got me thinking about Dubois. It is 70 miles east of Tetons.
I doubt many on here realize it has the Largest Military vehicle museum in the USA. All private created by a VERY rich doctor from the midwest. It has only been open 2 years now, so brand new. I think it has 400 vehicles from tanks to motorcycles. Supposedly one of every military vehicle used in by the USA in WW2.
I think military might get in free and seniors half price. They take the tanks out for July 4 parade(s?). The town is a nice little town with I think 4 rv parks (my favorite is a couple miles east - Longhorn RV park right on the river.
Side note - the Wind River goes thru there and is the same as the Big Horn river farther downstream. Apparently the mountain trappers named the Wind River and the settlers named the Big Horn! They decided it was too much trouble to change all the maps, so left them with their own names.
