Guernsey, Wyoming - Million-dollar Privy The "Million-dollar Privy" in Guernsey State Park puts the proverbial "brick sh*thouse" to shame! This massive stone outhouse was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. It received its nickname since it took a long time to build and cost a lot of money . . . for an outhouse. It includes massive stone buttresses outside that look like they could withstand a major tornado, and huge timbers frame the stalls inside.
After using the privy, don't miss the Castle Overlook/shelter building (next to the privy), Guernsey Museum, Brimmer Point Overlook, fireplace at the Red Cloud Picnic Area, and the powder magazine at Camp BR10. These wonderful structures - all built by the CCC -- are some of the best CCC structures in the West. Due to the architectural importance of these structures, part of the park is on the National Register of Historic Places and the whole park is a National Historic Landmark. [Peter S.
