Will James Roundup

Will James was a noted cowboy, author, and artist who owned the Rocking R Ranch east of Pryor, Montana. In 2009, his log studio and two cabins were donated to The Big Horn County Museum by The Sunlight Ranch and moved to the museum grounds. With proceeds from the Inaugural Event in 2011 to date, the Will James Roundup Staff has gifted over $6,000- toward the support of the Will James Project, offering an opportunity for the public to be a part of and participate in this local 3-day event.

The Will James Roundup is a Ranch style rodeo and Indian Relay event held at the Big Horn County Fairgrounds in Hardin, Montana during the second weekend of July. 2014 will mark the fourth year for this spectacular event, which will be held on July 11th, 12th, & 13th. This event helps raise funds for maintenance and repair of the Will James cabins, located at the Big Horn County Museum. Over the years, this event has quickly become one of the main tourist attractions in Hardin, Montana. It has brought the community together, and has provided support for all of the local businesses.
