Moondance Diner moving from
New York to LaBarge, Wyoming

(July 2007)

August 2007: Local residents Vince & Cheryl Pierce, purchased the Moondance Diner in New York and moved it to LaBarge in August, 2007. They intend to restore it and set it in its new location along the west side of US 189 on the south end of LaBarge. HistoricMoondanceDiner.com

LaBarge is located in the northern end of Lincoln County just across the Lincoln-Sublette County borderline. Although it is not in the county, the citizens of Sublette County shares some very close ties with this town. LaBarge is in the same school district as Big Piney and Marbleton. It has an elementary school but the older students are bussed 20 miles to the Big Piney Middle and High Schools. Because of this the families of these towns have known each other for generations. LaBarge's economy also depends on the large amount of energy resources available in both Sublette and Lincoln Counties, as do many of the neighboring communities of Sublette County.
