oregon trail state veterans cemetery

The Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery in Evansville, Wyoming, stands as a solemn tribute to over 5,300 veterans and their families. Established in 1983, the cemetery rests atop 115 acres overlooking Casper Mountain and the North Platte River—ground once traveled by pioneers on the Oregon-California and Bozeman Trails. It’s more than a final resting place—it’s sacred ground that preserves the legacy of service and sacrifice.

People from nine states watched the ceremony on a live stream from a camera set up by Bustard's Funeral Home.
