Ranch Tour: Ewing/Snell Ranch
Ranch Tours August 10 – Join Ranger Christy Fleming and Homesteader Museum Registrar, Avery Frank, for the third and final Spark Ranch tours. Bighorn Canyon is partnering with the Homesteader Museum in Powell, Wyoming. The Homesteader Museum is one of six places in Wyoming chosen by the Wyoming Humanities to host the Smithsonian Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibit titled Spark! Places of Innovation.
What is spark? The story of human history is written in inventions and innovations. People are problem solvers. Sometimes we invent — create a completely new thing or a process based on new ideas. More often, we innovate — that is, we introduce a fresh idea or an invention into use in some way the at creates a new way of doing or thinking.
All it takes is a spark — an idea —to get started. Places of Innovation takes visitors on a journey through time and place across America to discover the stories of people who lived, worked, played, collaborated, adapted, took risks, solved problems, and sometimes failed — all in the pursuit of something new. The themes addressed are technological, social, artistic, and cultural/heritage innovation.
Bighorn Canyon will give three Ranch tours inspired by Spark! Places of Innovation with the Homesteader Museum partnership to meet the requirements of hosting the Smithsonian MoMS Exhibit.
The third and final ranch tour – August 10, Off the Grid Living Then & Now at the Ewing/Snell Ranch
