Miss Ellen's
Gallery and Dining Room
Explore Wyoming through the eyes of award-winning Fremont County artists. We showcase Lander photographers Sara Wiles, Scott Copeland, Mike McClure, Ken Kidder, and Juan Laden; Lander leather crafter Scott Goetz; Riverton painters Sali Allard, Wyoma Jungck, and Billie Wright; and Riverton bronze sculptor Jim Allard. In our small book store we handle books written by guests of the inn and folks who live or lived at least part time in Atlantic City, including Betty Carpenter Pfaff, John Mionczynski, Geoff O'Gara, Jim Davis, and Mike McClure. We also offer Patricia Schultz's latest travel book, 1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die, which features our inn. To grow our book store, we'll buy autographed copies of books written by guests of the inn. Sometimes, you might find for sale varieties of scented, fancy-leaved, unique, zonal, or stellar pelargonium (most folks call them geraniums) from Professor Persnickety's Pungently Perfumed Pelargonium Plantation. The gallery surrounds historic artifacts: Miss Ellen's 11-foot-long plank dining table, an 1870s Army wood heater from Camp Stambaugh, an 1870s school table that came West in a covered wagon, and photographs that portray the inn's past. Plan your writers' retreat or meeting here. Black-out drapes and custom lighting offer possibilities for slide or video presentations or set the mood for more intimate gatherings. The dining room is set for twenty folks, and we can offer comfortable seating for up to thirty or so, including fine china table settings. Events we've hosted in the dining room include a wedding reception, a writing faculty's curriculum planning retreat, contractor meetings, a CPR course, the Atlantic City Historical Society's annual meeting , a make-up retreat, a company Christmas party, students enjoying the spoils of their Dutch oven cooking class, and a Friends of the Red Desert meeting. © 2006-2008 Miner's Delight Inn Bed & Breakfast |
