We have the opportunity to see this building, very intersting. also if you hav echange go to visit the museum of the train is very beautiful and incredible. if you go upstairs you can see something very incredible. go there and discover.
The architecture was nice and there are lots of BIG boots around to photograph. We just walked around taking photos of the whole historic area.
Located in historical downtown, it is the best place to jump in to the history of Cheyenne!The town put some bucks in to updating the plaza and it has more than paid off! From Friday Nights on the Plaza featuring free concerts to the farmers markets in the summer... just awesome. While you are there don't forget to take in the beautiful depot and some great eateries too!!
Loved the cowboy boots and the Wrangler store. I have often wanted to visit Cheyenne, and it didn't disappoint. went into the museum and it was very informative
By the time I reached Cheyenne, I couldn't stop anywhere for long and make it home in time. So, I had to pretty much run in and run out of this museum, much to my loss. What little I did see was very interesting. I can only hope I have another opportunity to give it the time and attention it clearly deserved. I can highly recommend the gift shop and the very helpful staff.
So much beautiful old architecture, and full of history. Demonstrates the raw determination our ancestors had to carve a railroad across this beautiful land. Don't miss the upstairs if you are a model train fan. Plan to spend at least 1.5 hrs there. The restoration on the lobby is amazing.
We were here on July 4th and there was just nothing happening. There were tents and a stage assembled but for what? We checked back by the area throughout the day and whatever was planned still hadn't started.
This was formerly the Union Pacific Depot that was built in 1886 which now houses a museum, gift shop and restaurant. My husband and our grandson really enjoyed the museum. It was full of historical information. The gift shop is very nice if you're looking for a keepsake and very reasonably priced. This has to be one of the most beautiful train stations in the U.S. It is one of the last of the 19th century depots from the transcontinental RR. The grounds were equally entertaining with 8' tall painted western boots, a horse made from junk metal parts that was a beautiful sculpture. There are plenty places in this plaza to sit and enjoy the ambiance or to people watch. I got caught up with the hunt for the painted boots that are located throughout town. I got a map from the visitors center and hunted all of them down. Each was painted by artists to depict various points in history. It was a fun scavenger hunt.
The old waiting room is open and seems original but there's only one bench in it. There's a gift shop and museum but the museum looked rather small (hopefully I was wrong) but the $8 entrance fee was off-putting.
Just two blocks from the municipal parking garage (free all day parking if you have out-of-state plates). You can buy trolley tickets in the depot for a 90 minute history your of the city, as well as on & off privileges at local museums and attractions that are higher rates on T-A.
