Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming, tells the story of the Old West through museums dedicated to railroads and the army, ranches where bison still live, and parks where you can hike or fish. In the city center are buildings showing its past: Wyoming's Capitol with its gold dome built in 1890, the 1887 Historic Depot now turned into a restaurant, and the Big Boy locomotive, a 40-meter long metal giant that represents the golden age of railroads. Themed museums invite visitors to learn about pioneer life, objects from native peoples, and 19th-century art. Around Cheyenne, there are natural areas like Curt Gowdy State Park with three lakes for fishing and hiking trails. There are also historic farms where visitors can see bison herds on horseback rides. In town, the Botanical Gardens offer a quiet walk among local and exotic plants. The Warren Air Force Base, founded in 1867, shows Cheyenne's important military role in defending the country. Whether you are interested in railroad history, the life of the Old West, wild nature, or historic buildings, Cheyenne has places to explore that show Wyoming's character and story.
