CASPER, Wyo. - The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center (NHTIC) will be closed to the public as it undergoes scheduled building maintenance Sunday through October 26.
The public closure is part of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system upgrade that is being conducted from Sept. 28 to October 27 with a targeted nine-day closure taking place to help ensure the safety of the public during these maintenance activities.
"The NHTIC is thrilled to be moving forward with another essential facility upgrade for 2020," said Katy Kuhnel, acting NHTIC director. "The system improvements will increase energy efficiency, provide a high-quality visitor experience and a more comfortable work environment for our employees."
This scheduled maintenance is the second major improvement project for 2020, with the early spring project having focused on upgrading the lighting in the theater.
The NHTIC is a Bureau of Land Management run facility that hosts more than 34,000 annual visitors. The center’s interpretive programs annually reach between six and seven thousand students.
