The Charlie Moore Collection contains over 400 items of original furnishings from the CM Ranch during the years the guest ranch was owned by Charles C. "Charlie" Moore. Moore began the CM Ranch in 1927 and operated it until 1952.
Between 1914 and 1946, Scandinavian loggers known as tie hacks produced over 10 million hand-hewn ties that were floated 100 miles down the Wind River to Riverton in massive weeks-long drives.

Thousands of years before the arrival of European trappers and settlers, early Indians of unknown origins roamed the Dubois area and left behind stone tools and other evidence of their presence for archaeologists to discover and ponder. But who they were remains a mystery.

Various units of horse-mounted United States Cavalry were stationed in Wyoming and saw action here. The 4th Cavalry battled the Cheyenne in the Dull Knife fight in 1876. The 9th Cavalry was deployed in 1892 for the Johnson County Cattle Wars.  From 1841 to 1909 as many as 11 forts in Wyoming retained cavalry.  Regiments included the 2nd, 3rd,  4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th.
