Old Cambria Coal Camp

The camp was developed in 1887, 7 miles northwest of Newcastle, by a crew of men who worked for the Kilpatrick Brothers and Collins Construction Co. Cambria was known as the "Model Coal Camp of the World". Saloons were not allowed to be built in the town, because of a promise the Kilpatrick brothers made to their mother. Law was enforced solely by a sheriff, armed with brass knuckles and a gun.

The Anna Miller Museum, a place where you can walk back in time and relive the old west. Built in the 1930's, the museum was originally a WPA project for Company A, 115th Cavalry, Wyoming National Guard. Many long, hard hours were spent constructing the building out of 18 inch hand-hewn sandstone blocks, quarried from nearby Salt Creek.

The museum was named for Anna C. ( McMoran) Miller, the daughter of a pioneer family, and widow of Sheriff Billy Miller who was killed in what is known as the last Indian battle in this area.

In cooperation with School District #1 and Upton School District #7 the museum provides exhibits and other educational services for use in the elementary and secondary schools in Wyoming. The museum maintains an active presence in the community as a teaching institution.
