Guy Percy Barnum and his foster brother Thomas Fregard moved to Wyomng about 1888 and settled on a ranch about 15 miles west of the town of Kaycee. A community known as Barnum now exists in that vicinity. Wyoming State Highway 190, also known as Barnum Road, leads from Kaycee to Barnum. While Guy and Thomas were living in that area, there was a Barnum Post Office on the ranch, of which Thomas Fregard was Postmaster.
