Mission of the Spirits of the Past: To have volunteers portray prominent citizens and visitors to early day Fremont County both by researching the person so that it is based on fact and then to dress in the time period was the vision. It was a magnificent way to increase the awareness of the county's 150th anniversary and to tell the stories of the county heritage left to those of us who followed. The "Spirits of the Past" was approved and brought under the umbrella of the Fremont County Heritage Commission who authorize the activities, programs and written materials.
Numerous requests from residents and visitors for reference material on the stories of those portrayed prompted the writing of the booklet.
The Fremont Historical Society would like to welcome anyone interested in participating in the Spirits of the Past program. Please visit the Fremont County Heritage Commission for contact information.
