Carbon County Museum envisions diverse but relevant experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn about themselves and their world through the history of Carbon County. The museum collects, conserves, interprets and disseminates regional history to inspire Carbon County cultural entities and all learners—today and tomorrow.

Our multisensory programs include:

• Touch Exhibit: A selection of artifacts are available for handling by patrons.

• Listening Stations: Patrons are invited to experience the museum’s oral history project; American Heritage Center audio recordings of Wyoming’s first female doctor, Lillian Heath, of Rawlins, are featured.

• Guided Accessible Tours: Patrons are invited to take a guided multi-sensory tour including sound and tactile elements. Museum staff and volunteers are educating tour participants on the role of and concepts surrounding touch within the museum setting.
