Wyoming Visitors Push Back on Effort to Reframe History at Federal Sites
What started as a call to “restore truth and sanity” to American history is now colliding with public reaction on the ground. After the Trump administration directed federal land agencies to flag monuments and sites deemed disparaging, QR-code signs invited visitors to weigh in. In Wyoming, they did—overwhelmingly pushing back. Public comments obtained through records requests show visitors defending historical accuracy, criticizing efforts to sanitize the past, and, in some cases, pointing out more practical concerns. The responses offer a revealing snapshot of how Americans want their history told. Mike Koshmrl with WyoFile has the full story.
