The Historic Virginian Hotel
From
1901-1911, August Grimm, the first Mayor of Medicine Bow,
and his partner, George Plummer, built a three-story,
concrete block hotel in Medicine Bow, and named it after
Owen Wister's book "The Virginian." The Hotel can boast of
the first electric lights and sewer system in
town.
On September 30, 1911, the
Virginian Hotel threw a gala party for its Grand Opening. In
1978, the Virginian Hotel received designation as a
National Historic Place and was listed in the
National Register of Historic
Places.
The Hotel had a Grand Re-opening
in 1984, after it had been completely renovated to its
present turn of the century Victorian decor, preserving the
best the Old West had to offer.
