New Historical Signs

July 23, 2007

The Sublette County Museum Board is rewriting and replacing all of its interpretive signs in the county. The original large wooden signs have been in place in some cases for more than 40 years.

The wooden signs are being replaced with cast aluminum signs. The new metal signs were obtained through David Klaren/Dire Wolf Studios in Pinedale and were purchased with county funds.

Dale Jensen, Sublette County Museum Board Chairman, and John Dickie, Big Piney metalsmith, installed several of the new historical signs last week.
