Freedom has a 'split personality'; split down the middle by the Wyoming/Idaho border. The Wyoming side claims to be the better half since their side has the post office! From the Wyoming Office of Tourism web page:
This border town got its name from the freedom it gave early Mormon polygamists from having to outrun Idaho law. All they had to do was walk across the street and be in another jurisdiction. Established in 1879, this is the oldest settlement in Star Valley.
Freedom Arms - Freedom Arms is a weapons factory, where the world renowned, powerful Casull handguns and revolvers are manufactured. Visitors are welcome during working hours to see their display of handguns & view their short video on the weapons in action. Go four miles north of Thayne, turn west on Wyoming 239 and travel 1/2 mile west to the Factory.
