Voices at Twilight—A Poet’s Guide to Wyoming Ghost Towns

The Definitive Wyoming Ghost Town Book

Wyoming State Historical Society Book Award Winner

In the award-winning Voices at Twilight, a collection of historical stories and photographs, Lori Howe illuminates past and present Wyoming ghost towns. Towns like Old Sherman, once the highest railroad village in the world, is now inhabited only by a child’s grave. Centennial, a former gold-rush town, is now home to a colorful, artistic population of 100.

Explore Piedmont’s well-preserved remains including the historic stone beehive kilns of the Moses Byrne empire. Medicine Bow is home to the historic Virginian Hotel, named for Owen Wister and his novel, The Virginian.

“Many of the working inhabitants are commuters who prefer the solitude of this small, lovely community.”

The towns featured in Voices at Twilight offer the reader a visual tour of twelve of the most interesting Wyoming ghost towns. Contained within this full-color book are travel directions, GPS coordinates, and tips for intrepid readers who wish to experience these unique towns and town sites for themselves.
