The Beginnings of Old Trail Town

Bob Edgar, the founder of Old Trail Town, nurtured a life-long affinity for history and archaeology, which led him to roam the Big Horn Basin region of Wyoming.

As Bob traveled, he noticed a multitude of historical sites and artifacts were quickly vanishing from the land he loved. This inspired Bob to act, which ultimately led to the formation of Old Trail Town, a preservation of the Old West.
