In partnership with The HUB on Smith and the WYO Theater, the Sheridan Community Land Trust is inviting the public to learn more about a unique Sheridan area history.
Towering up to 70 feet above the river, the 36-mile-long Tongue River Tie Flume harnessed the power of the cold mountain water to quickly transport timber down the mountain to the sawmills in what was anything but a lazy river ride.
SCLT and The Hub on Smith will present the next Explore History: Era of the Tie Flume. This program will begin at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, March 8, at the WYO Theater.
SCLT Historical Program Manager Carrie Edinger spoke about the upcoming program while appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse.

The Era of the Tie Flume will highlight the construction of the flume, the tie camps and their impact on the economy of the Dayton and Ranchester area. Laumann will share her historical research and her experiences hiking the areas where the flume once stood.
Explore History is a collaboration between SCLT and The Hub on Smith and funded by the Next Fifty Initiative. Programs are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. This program is free to attend and open to the public. SCLT invites attendees to share their experiences during each program’s open discussion session. More information available here.
