National Historic Trails Interpretive Center

It is operated through a partnership between the Bureau of Land Management, the City of Casper, and the National Historic Trails Center Foundation.

In 1992 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) joined with the NHTCF to work on the project, committing to pay half of the $10 million estimated cost.

[4] In 1994, voters in Casper passed the Optional One Cent Tax, which helped fund construction of the center's exhibits.

The Wyoming State Legislature also passed a bill to help fund the center that same year.

The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center designed by Line and Space Architects sits high above Wyoming's North Platte River, commanding views of major historic trails.
