The Uinta County Museum aims to collect, preserve and interpret the colorful history of Uinta County and the surrounding region. Located in Evanston, Wyoming, the museum?s collection is available for public viewing.

The museum is housed in a historic Carnegie building completed in 1906 which embodies a perfect example of Classical Revival architecture and was designed by New York architect Albert Randolph Ross, who also designed a Carnegie library in Washington D.C. An expansion building was completed in 2008, designed by a Jackson architect, Kirt Dubbe. The new building echoes the historic features of the original structure and houses the Uinta County Museum and Evanston Chamber of Commerce.

The museum exhibits the history of the Uinta County which is rooted in four great stories ? trails, rails, ranches and rigs. The museum also showcases a 100 Years of History Photo Exhibit which compares photographs of historic buildings with contemporary ones.
