Local history is best preserved by a community that shows up for it, and this week, Big Lost Meadery is making it easy to do just that.
From July 6–15, the Rockpile Museum Association is taking over Big Lost Meadery’s popular Irish Red tap as Rockpile Red. During this promotion, a portion of every Rockpile Red sold will be donated to the Association and will help continue our work to preserve, share, and celebrate the stories of Campbell County..
The Rockpile Museum Association supports the Rockpile Museum through fundraising, membership, programming, and community outreach. Every gift, membership, sponsorship, and partnership helps make it possible to care for local artifacts, support educational programs, and keep Campbell County history connected to the people who live here today.
This partnership also leads into WyoGives on July 15, a statewide day of giving that brings attention to the important work being done by nonprofits across Wyoming. For the Rockpile Museum Association, WyoGives is an opportunity to remind our community that history is not just something behind glass. It is found in family stories, old photographs, well-worn tools, handwritten letters, ranch records, school memories, and the places that shape who we are.
Our WyoGives theme this year is One Story at a Time, because that is how local history is saved. One artifact. One family. One memory. One person willing to give, share, volunteer, or simply take an interest.
We are grateful to Big Lost Meadery for partnering with us in such a fun and local way. Partnerships like this help bring history out into the community and give people a simple way to support the work of preservation while enjoying something made right here at home.
Stop by Big Lost Meadery between July 6 and July 15, order a Rockpile Red, and raise a glass to local history.
