What is a weird place to see in Wyoming?
Fossil Bone Cabin is constructed of something you won't believe: dinosaur bones! Sitting near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, it is difficult to miss this cabin built in 1932 by Thomas Boylan using 5,796 dinosaur bones, which were excavated at nearby Como Bluff. This was the site of extensive deposits of dinosaur bones discovered in the 1870s. He built the cabin as part of a gas station along U.S. Route 30 with bigger dreams of creating sculptures including an original intent to build a life-size dinosaur skeleton. With the help of his son, Boylan built the cabin in time for the 1933 tourist season, but building the skeleton was too daunting of a task.
