Adventures such as hunting and fishing are a large part of the culture in Gillette, Wyoming. You will find bears, eagles, hawks, wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, antelope, elk, and deer throughout the area, which is why many hunters come to the state from out of state and people from all over the world fly in to hunt antelope. Many animals are seen around Wyoming’s National Monument Devils Tower, a very large mountain that is flat on top, with on other mountains surrounding it. It has a rich Native American history surrounding it, as well as being so loved that its image is printed on the Wyoming driver’s license.

Gillette has a large underground art district with many well-known artists from all over the US and world who live and work in the large town. There are many sculptures throughout the town as well as galleries. Many of the artists are also instructors at the schools, while still being active professional artists. The advanced art classes in the junior high and high schools are at a college level. The state of Wyoming also started a state-wide art competition that goes on yearly, where every high school art program, and student has a chance to compete.

Throughout the rolling hills of Campbell county there are fields full of antelope, so much so that they are completely accustomed to people. Some individuals grew up with deer or an occasional moose going through their yard while we had antelope 24/7. Because of the low population (pollution) you can sit outside late at night and see all of the stars, including the milky way. It is so quiet all you hear is the sound of bugs chirping late at night. During the summer months many families go on camping trips, or on horseback trail rides.

Gillette, or Campbell county as it is most often called, is most known for the large coal mines. Miles outside of the town coal mines run 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. They power a large percentage of the US’s power (while being closely monitored). All of the adolescents have taken classes on it at some point during their education, in order to educate the towns citizens and youth on the mine’s importance, and how it functions with the environment.
