Join SCLT History Program Manager Kevin Knapp for the Iron Riders virtual tour. Follow the route taken by the Black soldiers of the 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps in 1897 when they traveled through Sheridan County on their way from Fort Missoula to St. Louis.

The Iron Riders earned their name from the heavy iron framed bicycles they rode, but also from their iron will in accomplishing a 1,900-mile journey over 41 days and five states. Hear the experience in the participants’ own words as interpreted by voice actors.

SCLT Explore History is free to attend and open to all.

Note: The original program, “Scattered Pieces of History,” has been canceled because the speaker is no longer available. SCLT hopes to hold this program at a later date.
