A new exhibition titled “An Artist’s Journey West: Alfred Jacob Miller, 1837” opened Thursday at the University of Wyoming’s American Heritage Center.

Miller was the first Euro-American to paint scenes inside the Rocky Mountains, which he accomplished on a trip to the Green River Rendezvous in 1837. The exhibition runs through Aug. 29, and presents paintings from three collections from Tim and Cathi Newton, Naoma Tate and the American Heritage Center (AHC).
