The Cowley Pioneer Museum is inside the former Big Horn LDS Stake Office and Tithing Building built in 1909.

The Mormons were the most significant factor in establishing the town of Cowley. They were also the inspiration and labor force in establishing the Sidon Canal. LDS Church leaders with the encouragement from Wyoming government leaders, led to an official church-sponsored colonization project known as the Big Horn Basin Colonization Company.

The museum documents the development of the Big Horn Basin Colonization Company, the building of the Sidon Canal and the development of Cowley and the surrounding basin area.
