COMMENTS:
No current residents. Approximately
5 miles north of Kemmerer. REMAINS: Few remains. Jail still stands.UPDATE:I wanted to let you know that the ghost town of Sublette in Lincoln County, Wyoming is being torn down to make room for a gas pipeline. They were scheduled to tear it down sometime this summer. (2008) UPDATE: I see that your Web page for Wyoming, Lincoln County, Sublette Ghost Town has the town area and jail being torn down during the summer of 2008. The Sublette jail, and all other fun things to see were still standing last night: May 24, 2009. There has been a mine reclamation project done on the area, you can see signs of it everywhere. At one mine shaft near the beginning of the road, somebody has brought an old mine cart out recently for people to see before sealing up the entrance. The road that was falling in over an old mine hole has been fixed - like they expect people to be using it. In my non-official opinion, it does not look like they are getting ready to tear the place down, or move any gas/oil projects onto the town site. Nothing is flagged with bright tape like in other local gas/oil projects. My guess is that the jail may be standing for many more years to come. Catherine |
