U.S. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis (both R-WY) introduced a bill Tuesday to protect the name of the Devils Tower National Monument in northeastern Wyoming.  Despite the fact that the monument has been known as Devils Tower since the 1800s, there have been attempts by outside groups and even the Biden administration to change the name of this well known landmark.

Senator Barrasso said that as America’s first national monument, Devils Tower is an iconic landmark cherished by people in Wyoming and a famous stop for people visiting the state and it is important we protect the legacy of this symbolic monument for years to come.

Senator Lummis said that as the first national landmark, Devils Tower holds great significance to generations of people across Wyoming and is one of the Cowboy State’s most cherished sights, and that is why she’s partnering with Senator Barrasso to ensure the preservation of this legacy and prevent D.C. bureaucrats and out-of-state interest groups from unnecessarily changing the name of this iconic and celebrated landmark.
