Laramie Plains Museum, Victorian museum in Laramie, United States
The Laramie Plains Museum is a three-story Queen Anne mansion built in 1892 with approximately 9,000 square feet of space across its levels. The building displays period furnishings and objects that show how people lived and worked during that era.
Edward and Jane Ivinson built this residence in 1892 when Laramie was an important railroad junction. The building was later converted to preserve the story of Wyoming's early settlement period.
The collection reflects how Laramie grew from a railroad stop into a center of learning and culture over several decades. You can see this transformation through the objects and stories displayed inside.
Entry is through the main entrance of the restored mansion, where guides lead visitors through the different rooms and their contents. Plan to spend time exploring all three floors and the various displays throughout the building.
The building features distinctive Queen Anne architectural details including decorative trim, varied roof lines, and asymmetrical window placements. These design elements make it stand out as a particularly fine example of late 1800s residential construction.
