The exhibit “Stan Lee: Beyond the Book” opens this Wednesday, May 1, 2024 and runs to the end of October, 2024 at the American Heritage Center (AHC) at the University of Wyoming. This highly anticipated exhibition honors the legendary comics creator, author, editor and Marvel visionary, Stan Lee.
The exhibition itself is drawn from the AHC’s “Stan Lee Papers” collection. Researched and curated by three University of Wyoming students—Rhiannon McLean, Hazel Homer-Wambeam and Liam Leslie—it provides the first deep-dive into the collection. It displays drawings, documents, photographs and artifacts that have not been preserved elsewhere

The CARES Free Store was started by a group of caring volunteers who saw a need for a space to distribute, for free, used goods that could use a new life, instead of going into the trash.
Open once a week and run by volunteers, the Free Store creates an equitable way to remove barriers to accessing home goods for anyone in need.
This Friday we are hosting a day of giving!
Help us restock the CARES Free Store by bringing in donations. We are currently looking for clothing and shoe donations of all sizes.
We do not accept mattresses, bedding, pillows, or furniture.

Head west to the days of homesteaders and learn about the people and animals of the prairie that make their “home on the range.”
Those that settled on the prairie had to be resourceful and use what they could find in the landscape around them. From creating their own clothes, building their own homes, and creating something out of the little around them, these people made their homes in wide open spaces. Learn about life on the plains through crafts, games, and educational talks from the Wyoming State Museum and our partners!
