History of the Rock

The hubbin and I went on a recent outing to explore our local museum. It was surprisingly interesting to learn about history of the Rock. 


We saw a coal miners' $.18 paycheck in 1930...


and walked through the Rock Springs jail which was still in use until the 1980's. 


The isolation cell was pri-tty creepy. A woman told me the walls were padded to prevent injuries of the mentally ill who were placed in solitary confinement. 


What a bummer.




We examined old fire extinguishers...


and dentist's chairs. Praise the Lord for modern medicine!


We got a pretty good laugh out of this sign...


and ended our tour riveting like Rosie. 


So there it is. The history of the Rock in 11 pictures. 

Woop!
