Chugwater Soda Fountain

 

 
 

Read All About It:

The Chugwater Soda Fountain in Chugwater, Platte County, Wyoming is significant on a local level under Criterion A, because of the building’s association with the social history of the area and with the development of Soda Fountains in the United States during the early years of the 19th century. The Chugwater Soda Fountain was originally built to serve as a dental office and pharmaceutical store, but the addition of the soda fountain in 1927 created a social space for the citizens of Chugwater to meet and became central to the social fabric of the community. The Chugwater Soda Fountain is the oldest operating soda fountain in Wyoming and the oldest business in Chugwater. It has been used as a general store, doctor’s office, veterinarian office, pharmacist’s office, and restaurant. It currently operates as a restaurant and social gathering spot for the citizens of Chugwater as well as a tourist attraction for visitors travelling along I-25.
