Local living historian Nic Skalicky brings mountain man life to Werner Wildlife Series

Local living historian Nic Skalicky will bring his extensive knowledge of life in the 1800s to his presentation “The Life of a Mountain Man” Tuesday, April 15, beginning at 6 p.m.

Skalicky, company commander of the popular Platte Bridge Company, which brings Wyoming’s state history from the 1820s to the 1880s to life, will bring his collection of skins, tools, and extensive knowledge of the mountain man trade to his presentation. “His knowledge of the daily life of a mountain man is very thorough, so it should be a great presentation,” said Dalene Hodnett, director of museums.

The presentation is free, family-friendly, and open to the public. It will take place in the museum’s Africa-Arctic Room. For more information, call 307-235-2108.

The Werner Wildlife Museum, located off the Casper College campus at 405 E. 15th Street, is free and open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
