• Fossil Fish Capital Of The World.

    Kemmerer truly is the fossil fish capital of the world.

    Known as the "Fossil Basin," the area is so abundant in fossil fish that anyone can not only see, but actually unearth innumerable amazing and unique examples at any of the Kemmerer area's commercial quarries, or at Fossil Butte National Monument.

  • Rich History.

    Kemmerer is a vibrant community, rich in character and history. The home and birthplace of the JC Penney mother store and homestead museum, the area also boasts deep-seated tradition of ranching, industry, and community events.

  • Vibrant Recreation Opportunities.

    Experience the wealth of recreation opportunities available in south Lincoln County. One of the best hunting and fishing areas in the country, Kemmerer is also the home of the planned Ham's Fork Recreation area, numerous concerts and festivals, such as the Oyster Ridge Music Festival, and the home of the world's only island green with two par-5 holes at the Fossil Island Golf Club.
