Emmigrants travelling west knew that if they were on schedule their wagons would arrive at Independence Rock on July 4th. It was an important beacon along the Oregon Trail.
All over the rock are carved messages, memorials, and names of the travellers. It listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered a Wyoming State Historic Site.
This wagon can be found at the beginning of the short trail back to the rock. Unfortunately it is surrounded in a chain link fence, so it is difficult to get a good photograph of it.
