Junction of the Oregon Trail and Fetterman Road, Converse County, Wyoming.

These photographs depict the 1916 dated memorial to the junction of the Oregon Trail and the Fetterman Road.

The monument is located on Cold Springs Road, State Highway 91, just outside of Douglas, Wyoming, on a road that obviously saw more traffic in former days.  As these photographs attest to, the monument has endured significant weathering over the years.

Indeed, it's now very hard to read.

The monument states:

THIS MONUMENT

marks the junction

of the Oregon Trail

and road to Old Ft.

Fetterman nine

miles north of this

spot established

July 19, 1867 abandoned

May 2, 1882. 

Erected by the State

Of Wyoming and

citizens of Converse

County to commemorate

the early history of

Wyoming

1916

This would place the monument in the early series of Wyoming historical markers, a large number of which were located along the Oregon Trail.
