Named after Jim Bridger. The first owner of the fort was perhaps the most picturesque figure in early Wyoming. He was often called the ‘Daniel’ Boone of the Rockies. Fort Bridger, which he built and Bridger’s Pass, which he discovered were named for him. This historical fort has several interesting old buildings still standing; the old pony express barn and the Mormon protective wall are still in existence there, and fitting ceremonies will make this site one of the landmarks for history.

From June 21 through September 19, 1901, Clemens and his family lived in a rustic cottage they nicknamed "Lair" on the shore of Lower Saranac lake

Clemens's family lived here from October 1901 through 1903.  The summer of 1902 was spent at York Harbor, Maine.
