West Texas Trail Museum (WTTM), in conjunction with the Moorcroft Historical Society (MHS), held their 11th Annual Heritage Round Up at West Texas Trail Museum on Saturday, September 12.

It was a great night with kids of all ages – some who haven’t celebrated their first birthdays yet and some who are getting close to that tri...
The threat of the COVID-19 virus affected Jubilee to a minimal extent this year, according to event coordinator and Moorcroft Area chamber of commerce member Cindy Mosteller, who reported a shortage of about 200 guests overall.

The celebration kicked off with the Moorcroft High School Promenade on Thursday evening and the crowning of the King and Q...
