Explore the mystery of Meeteetse's Iron Creek Foundry which is said to have manufactured bricks for the First National Bank (now the Bank Museum) and likely other buildings in town including the Weller or Overland Hotel. We learn from Rachel Whitlow and James Mauch about brick making and the geological processes that made Iron Creek a good spot to make brick and explore historical newspapers in the search for Meeteetse's brickmaker. Rachel is the Executive Director at the Haverstraw Brick Museum in New York (www.haverstrawbrickmuseum.org) and James is a geologist at the Wyoming State Geological Survey.
