Carbon County Museum (Rawlings, Wyoming)

Frankie writes to tell me about this place, which sounds just too strange to be true: “I just returned from a roadtrip and thought you might be interested in listing the Carbon County Museum in Rawlins, Wyoming as part of your Morbid USA. They house the remains of a man who was lynched back in 1881. His skin was made into a pair of shoes and the top of his skull used as a doorstop. The gentleman who wore his shoes later became Governor of Wyoming if you can believe it.”
