Step into Casper Wyoming's colorful history. Take the guided walking tour of downtown Casper and let costumed guides and characters bring history to life! See sites in downtown Casper where cowboys, prostitutes and outlaws cut a wide swath in Central Wyoming's pioneer days. Let us take you to the spot where Billy Milne was met by jealous husband Joel Hurt, and listen to the detail of Dr. Joe Benson's escapades in the first Casper jail. Hear the grim details of how dance hall owner Lou Polk's partner thought she was cheating on him and disfigured her face. 
The Sand Bar Area in northwest downtown Casper has a very colorful past. The "Sand Bar" was created where the Platte River was diverted by the construction of Pathfinder Dam in 1909, leaving a sandy river bottom to be settled by oil field hands, new businesses, "painted ladies, Tinhorn gamblers, bootleggers and criminals on the lam." This tour will introduce you to the characters and the stories that made Casper famous in the 1920's and 1930's.
