Fossil Cabin, near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, was built in 1932 as part of a gas station on U.S. 30 along the old Lincoln Highway. Thomas Boylan, who settled near Como Bluff, spent seventeen years collecting 5,796 dinosaur bones from that fossil-rich area after abandoning an impractical plan to assemble a complete skeleton. He and his son used the bones to build a 29-by-19-foot cabin for the 1933 tourist season. Promoted under several colorful names, it became a well-known roadside attraction. After traffic shifted to Interstate 80, the property declined, but the cabin remained in Wyoming and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
