Kemmerer Rec Center

Kemmerer, Wyoming, serves as the county seat for Lincoln County and boasts a rich history extending over a century, marked by coal mining, railroads, and bootlegging. Founded in 1897 and incorporated in 1899, Kammerer was closely linked to the development of coal mines in the surrounding area, significantly contributing to the region's economic growth during its coal mining boom.

The partnerships of early settlers, particularly Patrick Quealy and Mahlon Kemmerer, played a crucial role in establishing the Kemmerer Coal Company, which still has operational mines today. Visitors to the area can explore historical sites, including the preserved buildings from Kemmerer's heyday and the original J.C. Penney store, known as the "Mother Store," which has been serving the community since 1929.
