Discover Hulett as a travel destination

Hulett combines the history and culture of northeastern Wyoming with recurring events and a landscape of wooded hills. If you’re looking for a hotel in Hulett, these different points of interest can help you choose a destination that suits the purpose of your trip.

Cultural history at the Hulett Museum & Art Gallery

The Hulett Museum & Art Gallery is dedicated to collecting and preserving the history and culture of northeastern Wyoming. Its collection includes prehistoric and historic artifacts; the exhibits explore dinosaurs, horse-drawn carriages, and the heritage of the Northern Plains. In this way, the museum combines a regional cultural-history context with specific subjects that vary in theme. The museum’s regional mission and its exhibits serve different purposes: the mission situates its cultural focus in northeastern Wyoming, while the subjects offer individual points of interest within this context. For your trip planning, this is a cultural-history highlight that differs from event dates and landscape features.

Events throughout the year

The events calendar offers several dates to plan around. Hulett has held its annual Hulett Rodeo since 1947. The Old West Invitational Turkey Shoot (OWITS) takes place in Hulett each spring; exact dates may vary from year to year. Hulett Ham & Jam is also held annually in Hulett. The calendar therefore ranges from an annual tradition dating back to 1947 to a seasonal spring event and another event held each year. If you’d like to plan your trip around an event, check the dates for the year in question, especially for OWITS.
