Henry Johnson came to this area (about 1896) just as the new town of Thermopolis was being established. At this time, he started freighting for the local merchants including Martin and McGrath.
When the streets of Thermopolis were being measured for the town, Johnson asked that Broadway, be made wide enough to turn his sixteen-mule freight outfit around on it.
Stop by our Museum and see a model of “16 Mule Team Johnson” with wagons and completely outfitted. It was a proud creation of Loyd L. Walker.
