At Bridger Historical Society, one of our main goals is to save the histories of our earliest settlers, and collect these stories in a book about Bridger and Bowler. We want to preserve for posterity the unique history of the authentic west of which Bridger was a major part. Our tough, fascinating homesteaders were joined often by famous characters like Buffalo Bill, Calamity Jane, Jeremiah Johnson, and Chief Plenty Coups.

Bridger Historical Society is actively involved in saving some of our historic sites most in danger of decay or destruction. We have joined with the Town of Bridger to save the Stage Coach station, with Pacificorp to save the 1st Bowler School, and are yearly applying for grants to save roofs, footings, and other buildings. Construction is the area we most need volunteer help and donations.
