You are correct.. or more precisely the "National Museum of Wildlife Art " which houses over 5000 pieces of wildlife art. Very cool place to visit!

Ha! I knew that one!

The name of Wyoming’s Star Valley comes from Starvation or Starve Valley, a name the area gained during bitter winters in the late 1880s. Many cattle were lost in the severe winter of 1889, when more than 40 inches of snow fell during two days and nights in March. Among the towns in the valley, which lies between the Salt River Range in western Wyoming and the Webster Range in eastern Idaho, are Afton (pop. 1,818), Alpine (pop. 550), and Thayne (pop. 341)
