The Parade of Pronghorns is coming to Gillette!
The Rockpile Museum Association is thrilled to launch a new community art project — the Parade of Pronghorns.
You’ve seen other towns with their painted bison, bears, or horses… now it’s Gillette’s turn to celebrate our local icon, the Pronghorn Antelope.
Over the next year, 10 artists will transform life-size fiberglass pronghorns into works of art. These sculptures will be displayed throughout Campbell County and then brought together for a public auction in Summer 2026 to benefit the Rockpile Museum Association.
This project will showcase the creativity of our region, celebrate our history, and bring the community together through art.
