We are a group of people who live in or grew up in Eden and Farson, Wyoming.  Our goal is to preserve Eden Valley history by collecting documents, photographs and oral histories to be placed in permanent archives.  Pioneer families in the Eden Valley have assisted the group by providing information and historic photographs.  We are also writing stories and memories of our past, which will soon be compiled in a book.  To fund our work the Eden Valley History project has conducted bake sales, held a quilt raffle, sold memberships and received a grant from the Sweetwater County Historical Society. 

The group was formed in 2000.  Since that time we have hosted five public programs related to the history of Eden and Farson, held training in how to conduct oral histories, conducted field trips to learn more about the area's history, have researched and photographed area barns, documented the people buried in the Eden Valley Cemetery, and sponsored an essay contest at the Eden/Farson school.  A spin-off group of the History Project researches and writes stories about memories of Eden Valley.  Some of these stories have been published in The Green River Star's Historic Editions.

The Eden Valley History Project received two first place awards from the Wyoming State Historical Society in 2003: a publications award for our brochure "This is Eden Valley" and an activities award for our efforts to preserve Eden Valley History and for conducting field trips, public programs and educational projects.  We are working in cooperation with the Sweetwater County Historical Museum where our archives will eventually be housed.
