Hulett, Wy: A Small Town with Big Plans!

Hulett lies in the shadow of the nation's first national monument, Devils Tower, in the Black Hills of northeast Wyoming. The quiet town of about 400 people is known for outdoor recreation like hunting and fishing, but is making big noises with its recent economic growth!

HISTORY

The gold rush expansion in the Black Hills area gave rise to the small town of Hulett in the 1880’s. Railroad timber, followed by farming, ranching and natural resource mining helped it flourish and sustain its residents for years after. Today, the hard working attitudes of those pursuits are instilled in the business owners of the area.

TOURISM

The nearby Devils Tower may dominate the tourism draw of national visitors, but Hulett can offer much more! Located in the Bear Lodge Mountains and National Forest, outdoor recreationists can experience unparalleled hunting, fishing, hiking, off-road activities, mountain biking, camping and more!
