Store Description

We are in an older house right on Hwy 26/85, approximately 2 miles west of town, right on the route to Fort Laramie National Historic site. Some new, mostly used, we are always looking to buy or trade for good western history, mountain man, weapons and especially Wyoming history titles. If you get to Torrington stop in but please call to verify we are in as we are both retired and hours are inconsistent. My cell is 307-401-3033 or 307-220-7337
