SCLT Explore History: “A Homestead Filled with History”

Chris Vrba, Director of Marketing and Development at The Sheridan Community Land Trust, has announced that the SCLT Explore History program for December will be “A Homestead Filled with History.”

When Stephen George built his cabin on a site along Prairie Dog Creek in 1881, there were just two other homes in what would soon be Sheridan. But the homestead’s story goes as far back as 360 million years with the fossils contained in its barn’s bricks.

Join SCLT History Program Manager Kevin Knapp and Tom Balding for a program that will tell the story of the Stephen George homestead and how Tom and SCLT worked together to bring the homestead’s story to life and have it place on the National Register of Historic Places.

SCLT Explore History will be held on Tuesday, December 10, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., at The Hub on Smith and will be repeated on Tuesday, December 17, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon., at the TRVCC in Dayton.

SCLT Explore History will continue in January with a program about the remains of Monarch, a historic coal mining town, and the research and preservation of the historic Monarch Lutheran Cemetery and the recently removed historic Monarch Bridge.

The previously scheduled SCLT Explore History program, “John Howard Conrad: History Legacy in Northern Wyoming and Montana,” will be rescheduled for 2025.

Explore History is free to attend and open to all. For more information, visit https://sheridanclt.org/events.
