The land where Thermopolis is currently located was once Indian Reservation. During that time, Thermopolis was located about six miles north of its current location. Across the Big Horn River from “Old Town” Thermopolis was a village known as Andersonville, named after three Anderson brothers who homesteaded the area. One of the original cabins from Andersonville was removed log by log, and reassembled in the Hot Springs County Museum where you can still see it to this day! Peer through the door of the cabin to see what would have been called “all the comforts of home”, back in the day.
