Welcome To Cheyenne
In 1867 the City of Cheyenne was established. Within five months of its startup, the city boasted a population of over 4,000 people and earned its rightful nickname, “The Magic City of the Plains.” Although we currently have a population of over 65,000 residents, we enjoy seeing new faces, hearing your stories from other places, and watching each of you revel in the magic of our fair city.
The City of Cheyenne is inextricably linked with the military.
In fact, the city was “born” on the same day Fort D.A. Russell (now Francis E. Warren Air Force Base) was selected as a site for an army post. As the saying goes, our military roots run deep, wherein Cheyenne is home to the Wyoming Air Guard, Army National Guard, and the only National Veteran’s Cemetery in the state of Wyoming. We value our military personnel and deeply appreciate all those who serve(d).
While you are here, we invite you to enjoy the sights and wonders around town, which will tell you about the rich history
of our great community. On every corner of Capitol Avenue to 17th Street and places in between, you will find bronze statues that honor the heritage of both our city and state. More than $1.4 million was generously donated to showcase renowned authors, iconic photographers, early explorers, and family matriarchs and patriarchs who left behind a worthwhile legacy. If you have a moment, walk around our downtown area and learn more about each statue’s importance. Also, don’t forget to take a picture of your favorite one!
Our parks and greenway system are some of the best trails you will find. We have a 47-mile, non-motorized Greenway path that allows hikers, bikers, skateboarders, and strollers to navigate around the city. We have numerous public and private museums, including the Wyoming State Museum, the Historic Governor’s Mansion, and the Old West Museum. Our state Capitol completed a monumental renovation and restoration in 2019 and the results are remarkable. I encourage you to visit my favorite addition to the community--- the Grand Conservatory and Orangerie at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, located in Lions Park. We also have a High Plains Arboretum that sits at an elevation of 6,200 feet and is one of our hidden gems.
What we’re most notoriously known for is our 10-day rodeo experience you won’t find anywhere else! Every year during the last full week of July, our city attracts half a million cowboys and cowgirls from all over the country to take part in Cheyenne Frontier Days™, also known as the “Daddy of the ‘em All®”. This annual western celebration is the largest outdoor rodeo in the world and is the pride of our town! For an entire week and a half, visitors enjoy our parades, pancake breakfasts, nightly concerts with the biggest names in country music, Championship Bull Riding, western art shows, Native American art and cultural festivities, and of course, the famous award-winning rodeo itself.
Here in Cheyenne, we take pride in cultural and recreational opportunities as well. Our Civic Center, which houses the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra, offers numerous productions for all age groups. Productions from the Cheyenne Little Theatre are some of the finest you will ever attend, with performances shared between the Mary Godfrey Theater and the Historic Atlas Theater. However, the historic Union Pacific Depot is the crown jewel of our downtown. Since the first train rolled into town over 150 years ago, Cheyenne and Union Pacific have been very close partners. We are thankful for our humble beginnings; being a start-up community that was created due to the expansion of the railroad. In honor of our history, we implore you to visit our Historic Depot and Plaza and learn more about our transcontinental contributions. Feel free to pose next to our Big Boots and share your photos instantly using the free public Wi-Fi we offer within the plaza’s range.
On behalf of the City of Cheyenne’s Governing Body and the residents of Cheyenne, welcome to the “Magic City of the Plains.” We hope your time here is both magical and memorable and you decide to visit again soon!

2024 Guide to Frontier Days™
July 19-28, 2024
In its 128th year, Cheyenne Frontier Days™ revolves around the same element it did over 125 years ago — the volunteer and a desire to preserve a part of Western history.
legendary Old West in historic Cheyenne, Wyoming.
If past figures hold true for Cheyenne Frontier Days™, this year all fifty states, plus twenty-three countries will be represented in ticket sales.
It’s this kind of diverse audience that makes the hours of fence mending, barn building, entertainment planning, show scheduling, and hours of haggling over the details worthwhile. It’s this attention to detail that makes Cheyenne Frontier Days™ the great event it is.
It takes thousands of volunteers and thousands of hours to put on the world’s largest ongoing, outdoor rodeo. They do it because it’s a fun contribution to their community.
The approximately 300,000 people attending Cheyenne Frontier Days™ will see a smattering of the Old West. From the carriages rolling past in the parades, to the tie-down competition, it’s a part of the West that continues through the efforts of volunteers using their free time to put on an extravaganza of Western flavor. It continues every year for visitors from all over the globe. They can step into the
Every year, after the last cowboy has packed up and headed for the next rodeo, the group of ten volunteers known as the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ General Committee start organizing their subcommittees and planning for the next year. They review what was right, what could be improved, and begin work planning the next “Daddy of ‘em All®”.
Cheyenne Frontier Days™ is a year’s worth of planning and preparation by volunteers whose commitment to ten days in July is only rewarded by the smiles and appreciation of you, the visitor. As they show you the West, remember their payment can only be shown in how much you enjoy the celebration, 128 years in the making!
Parades Exemplify the Frontier Spirit
For over 125 years, the Grand Parades have captivated audiences at Cheyenne Frontier Days™, and 2024 is poised to uphold this tradition. Throughout the week-long celebration, four parades are slated to delight attendees. Each parade kicks off with a rocket’s roar at 9 a.m. on the opening Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, and final Saturday, heralding the commencement of a splendid procession. Evolving into a vibrant pageant of the frontier West, the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ Grand Parades seamlessly blend nostalgia from yesteryears with the thrills of today.
The inception of the “Evolution of Transportation” concept in 1925 laid the groundwork for subsequent committees to amass over 50 horse-drawn and opendrawn vehicles through gifts, purchases, and loans. Among the favorites are stagecoaches, sleighs, ambulances, meat wagons, depot wagons, surreys, and landaus.
In 1926, the late Dazee Bristol crafted five floats depicting various facets of frontier life in early Wyoming. Bristol’s designs, featuring dance halls, saloons, and mining camps, have remained parade highlights for over 85 years.
The parades boast a myriad of attractions including equestrian units, historical floats, pre-1964 vehicles, precision drill teams, fancy riders, clowns, and more. Carriages and historical floats infuse a Western ambiance, enriching the overall experience.
Spanning approximately an hour and a half and stretching over a mile, the Grand Parades commence at 24th Street and Capitol Avenue, meander through downtown, and conclude at 24th Street and Carey Avenue. Strategically positioned announcers along the route breathe life into the parades for the thousands of spectators. A cherished tradition, the parades bring joy to attendees of all ages and contribute to the illustrious legacy of Cheyenne Frontier Days™ as the “Daddy of ‘em All®”.
Volunteers Serve FREE Pancake Breakfasts
In the spirit of Cheyenne Frontier Days™, a dedicated team of Indian Committee volunteers contributes their time to organize the complimentary pancake breakfasts, which are expertly prepared and served by the Cheyenne Kiwanis Club. These breakfasts occur on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during Cheyenne Frontier Days™.
Each breakfast draws around 10,000 attendees. By 9 a.m. on Friday morning, more than 30,000 individuals will have been served a satisfying meal of pancakes, accompanied by coffee and milk. Despite the large turnout, no one waits longer than 20 minutes—a testament to the efficiency of these seasoned volunteers who have been catering to Cheyenne Frontier Days™ visitors for years.
Preparing batter for 100,000 pancakes requires a sizable vessel, with rumors suggesting the use of a cement truck! The batter comprises 5,000 pounds of pancake mix. Other menu items include 650 pounds of butter, 450 gallons of syrup, 8,000 pints of milk, 520 gallons of coffee, 125 pounds of sugar, and 12 gallons of cooking oil. Infused with a generous serving of Western hospitality, these breakfasts epitomize the Cheyenne flapjack chuckwagon tradition—all generously funded by Cheyenne Frontier Days™ Inc. and its sponsors.
As you savor your meal, you’ll be serenaded by quality country Western music, as well as performances by the “Little Sun Drum and Dance Group,” rodeo royalty, and the local favorite, “Country Club Band.”
The Frontier Days Famous Free Pancake Breakfast is hosted at the Depot Plaza in downtown Cheyenne, situated at the intersection of Lincolnway and Capitol Avenue, from 7-9 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It’s an event for the whole family to enjoy!

Volunteers Bring the Vision to Life
At the heart of Cheyenne Frontier Days™ are ten dedicated volunteers comprising the General Committee. This esteemed group leads various committees overseeing the diverse aspects and festivities of the event, including Concessions, Contract Acts, Grounds, Indians, Military, Parades, Public Relations, Operations, and Rodeo. Assisting them are over 2,900 volunteers who tirelessly work year-round to orchestrate the July extravaganza.
Guiding the General Committee is John Contos, the General Chairman, who ensures a cohesive approach toward achieving the event’s overarching goals. Serving as the organization’s Chief Operating Officer, Contos plays a pivotal role in steering the proceedings.
Collaborating closely with the General Committee is a 20-person team, headed by Chief Executive Officer Tom Hirsig, tasked with ensuring the seamless execution of the celebration each year.
With an operating budget exceeding ten million dollars, members of the General Committee must exhibit unwavering dedication, possess a holistic perspective, and navigate diverse personalities. Sustaining the global appeal and freshness of Cheyenne Frontier Days™ presents an ongoing challenge for a workforce comprised predominantly of volunteers.
What motivates these individuals to dedicate themselves? It’s the spirit and commitment to preserving the 128-year-old “Legend of the Old West.” Those who serve as committee members, assistants, and volunteers embody this spirit, ensuring the enduring success of Cheyenne Frontier Days™.

Special
Screening
of LANE:
Life|Legend|Legacy
The Cheyenne Frontier Days™ (CFD) Old West Museum is excited to announce a special screening of LANE: Life | Legend | Legacy presented by Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies (OCR). The event will take place Saturday, July 20 at the Cheyenne Civic Center. The screening will begin at 4 p.m.
Legendary Bull Rider Lane Frost is the subject of the documentary by Fort Worth based production company Tough Draw working with Out of Order Studios and produced in association with the Lane Frost Brand. The feature length film LANE: Life | Legend | Legacy will focus on Frost’s faith, various challenges the young cowboy faced and most importantly, why thirty-five years after his death in Cheyenne, WY, he is still one of the most celebrated figures in Western culture.
“I gotta be honest - it was tough to watch. Half of me was gone when Lane died. This true story tells the real life drama surrounding Lane’s life. I had a front row seat, and I will never forget that time in my life that was the best and then the worst,” said Tuff Hedeman, Lane’s best friend and 4X World Champion Bull Rider. He continued, “But for those who only know the 8 Seconds side of the story, this is the real story. Texas filmmakers Brad Hughes and James Trawick got it right. Spending more than 5 or 6 years entrenched in the sport produced a story I appreciate as a tribute to what Lane’s life and career did for his friends, family and generations of bull riders that are still trying to be like him.”
An exclusive Red Carpet Event will be held upstairs at the Civic Center beginning at 2 p.m. and will include appearances from celebrity guests and producers of the film, a charcuterie spread, an open bar and more. Limited tickets will be available for $150 for the Red Carpet event and include premier seating.
Individual seat tickets to the event range in price from $25 - $75. Pricing varies depending upon seat location. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.axs.com/ events/584671/lane-life-legend-legacy-tickets
A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the CFD Old West Museum. The Museum plans to have a special exhibit honoring the 35 years since Lane tragically passed away in addition to the full-size bronze on display year-round.
The Museum is so thrilled to partner with Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies to bring this legendary documentary to our beloved city. We invite you to join us in honoring 35 years with this special screening of Lane’s documentary, featuring Elsie and Clyde Frost, Kellie Macy, Tuff Hedeman, and Dr. Skip Ross, a physician at OCR. The film explores the profound impact Lane had on the sport of rodeo and the many lives he touched. Dr. Ross, the attending physician on that fateful day, shares his poignant reflections, offering a unique and heartfelt perspective.
The CFD Old West Museum celebrates the legacy of the American West and Cheyenne Frontier Days™, renowned as the “Daddy of em’ All” ® – the largest outdoor rodeo and Western celebration in the world, with a legacy spanning 128 years. As custodians of over 400,000 artifacts, our Museum boasts a rich photographic archive, the world’s largest and most diverse collection of Western carriages, and a permanent collection of Western art. Guests can explore our curated exhibits from Native Americans, railroads, and military influences who helped create “The Magic City of the Plains”. Our collections and exhibits vividly portray the lives, legacies, characters, and connections of those who created our unique stories.
The Cheyenne Frontier Days™ Hall of Fame honors the best. Featuring memorabilia from rodeo stars, iconic animal athletes, and the vibrant history of the “beaches of Cheyenne”, the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ arena floor. Patrons are able to relive the captivating performances of national country western singers who have performed on the Frontier Nights stage and feel the spirit of the 3,000 volunteers who embody the essence of this extraordinary celebration. We invite you to join us for an immersive adventure that captures the essence of the West – where every visit is a journey through time and a celebration of the extraordinary.
Lane Frost started riding dairy calves around the age of 5 or 6 and won his first rodeo awards at only ten years old. In 1981, he became the National High School Bull Riding Champion, and the following year, he won the title of Riding Champion of the first Youth National Finals in Fort Worth, Texas. Frost would go on to win the PRCA World Champion bull riding competition in 1987. His success at such an early age serves as tremendous motivation for the filmmakers. “Lane’s story, to me, is a story of hope and dedication,” explains Hughes. “It’s a story of someone living a life that leaves a light in this world that is inexplicable to most people. Lane is an inspiration of achieving ultimate success through persistent hard work and being a Legend in your sport.” The reminder of the brevity of Frost’s life was also a sobering realization during filming. Hughes continues, “The biggest thing I feel like I’ve learned through all this, was the reminder of how young he really was. When you sit down with Kellie (Frost’s widow) and discuss their marriage or talk with Tuff about having to “grow up” overnight…you realize, and it’s a shaking reminder, of just how young they all were during this time.”
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:
Pistol Packin’ Gunslingers Shoot It Up!
Rustlers, lawmen, and other pilgrims are invited to return to those exciting days of yesteryear when villains were hunted down, captured and brought to justice by brave lawmen.
Cheyenne visitors get to see how it was done in the “old days.” The Cheyenne Gunslingers stage free, action-packed gunfights every day during Cheyenne Frontier Days™ to give onlookers a taste of Old West justice.
While some arguments exist about many legends of the Old West, no one argues the fact that the gunfight is a part of American History. At “High Noon” and 6 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, “High Noon” on Sunday, then “High Noon” and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and one more time on Sunday at Noon (the last day of Frontier Days™), pistol packing gunslingers perform an hour long show at their “Home of the Gunslingers,” in the heart of Historic Downtown Cheyenne, at 15th Street and Pioneer Avenue.
The shows are based on six scripts that recreate an atmosphere of Cheyenne in the 1890’s. Although none of the scripts are based on authentic events, all are written to provide a maximum amount of action. Each contains some fancy shooting, a short story, and a “hanging”. A gun safety demonstration precedes every performance and the entire show is intended as a fun family time!
After the smoke clears, visitors can explore the set and take pictures with the Gunslingers. Come join the Gunslingers to celebrate their 40th Anniversary as the “Goodwill Ambassadors” for Cheyenne.

An extensive four-year rehabilitation project, completed in 2019, restored the Capitol’s historic grandeur while modernizing the building’s systems, addressing code and life safety issues, and increasing public meeting space.
This invasive work created a rare opportunity to restore historic features and uncover elements throughout the building that had not been seen for decades. Removal of suspended ceiling tiles exposed arches, decorative paint, crown moldings, coffered ceilings, and decorative column capitals and revealed original ceiling heights.
Artisans recreated the spectacular 1888 trompe l’oeil finishes in the rotunda and monumental corridors. Trompe l’oeil means to “fool the eye” and is a painting style creating a three-dimensional effect.
The Four Sisters
Visitors can enjoy the “Four Sisters,” a group of allegorical bronze sculptures representing Truth, Justice, Courage, and Hope standing guard in four niches on the third floor of the Rotunda. These niches sat empty for 130 years until the statuary was commissioned for the restoration.
The Vaults
On the garden level’s east side, a 12,000 lb. vault door from the 1920’s is displayed. The restoration uncovered vibrant oil paintings on six other vault doors located in the center of this level, while an exhibit on the west side details the exterior restoration.
Historic Supreme Court Chamber
ine the Capitol’s oldest and most elaborate chandelier, which hangs underneath a jewel-like stained glass lay light. Notable Leaders
The bronze sculptures of Esther Hobart Morris, who was the nation’s first female justice of the peace, and Chief Washakie, leader of the Eastern Shoshone people, are located near the future site of an interpretive center in the Capitol Extension.
The Capitol is open for self-guided tours 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday - Friday and 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Saturdays, except state holiday closures. Capitol photos courtesy of Debbie Martinez
The Wyoming Capitol earned its National Historic Landmark status for its importance in the history of women’s suffrage. In 1889, the state’s constitution was signed in this chamber, becoming the first state in the nation to affirm women’s right to vote, hold office, and sit on juries. The restoration of ornate decorative elements make this chamber unique. The extensive trompe l’oeil paint in a vibrant color palette dates back to 1888. From the restored balcony, visitors can exam-

Cheyenne Frontier Days™
Evolution from the Past to Present Revelries
In the annals of Cheyenne’s history, 1897 stands as a pivotal year. Sensing the need to invigorate the “Magic City of the Plains,” a visionary group of businessmen convened, birthing the inaugural Cheyenne Frontier Days™ committee. Their objective: to craft an event that would thrust Cheyenne into the limelight, capturing the attention of visitors far and wide.
Though the exact genesis of Cheyenne Frontier Days™ remains shrouded in mystery, this gathering swiftly gained traction as a beacon of recognition for the city. Despite skeptics’ doubts and a mere month for promotion, the event defied expectations, blossoming from humble origins into the World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo and Western Celebration.
For Cheyenne, Frontier Days evolved into the pinnacle attraction, drawing throngs of visitors from across the nation and around the globe to Wyoming every July, eager to partake in the “Daddy of ‘em All®”.
While the rodeo has always been the cornerstone of Frontier Days, the festivities have seen a kaleidoscope of activities come and go over the
years. Early years witnessed baseball games and bison riding, alongside the main rodeo events. The downtown area was the hub for non-rodeo activities until the mid-1920s when the advent of midway carnivals and “Frontier Nights®” signaled a shift in entertainment.
From the early 1930s, celebrities graced the festivities, adding to its allure. Native American participation, spurred by public demand, became integral to the celebration. Grand Parades, an enduring tradition, featured elaborate floats designed by local luminary Dazee Bristol, adding flair to the spectacle.
Throughout the changes, the rodeo remained the event’s beating heart, evolving with the times. Women’s events, initially included in the 1920s, faded out due to societal shifts during World War II, only to resurface sporadically in later years. Tragedy struck in 1989 with the untimely death of bull rider Lane Frost, immortalized by a statue outside the CFD Old West Museum.
Central to the success of Cheyenne Frontier Days™ are its volunteers, whose dedication spans from planning to park cleanup, ensuring the event’s seamless execution. Each visitor contributes a unique chapter to the rich tapestry of Frontier Days history, forging indelible memories that endure across generations.
For 128 years, millions of visitors have made the pilgrimage to Cheyenne, embracing the spirit of this iconic event. As the legacy continues, future visitors will undoubtedly discover the essence of being part of the “Daddy of ‘em All®”.
Keeping the Western Spirit Alive
In 1995 the Cowgirls of the West, 501 (C)3 nonprofit organization, was formed. Under the guidance of Gerrie Bishop, one of the founding ladies, the group has grown to nearly 200 members. The mission of the Cowgirls is to provide a free museum where the public may learn of the rich heritage of women and their role in settling the Wild West that continues to this day. The museum and gift shop are located at 203/205 West 17th Street in downtown Cheyenne.
The Cowgirls sponsor a monthly luncheon/program during the months of September thru May. The programs feature ranch history, cowboy and cowgirl history and many stories of the families who homesteaded or founded businesses in the West. All events are open to the public as the Cowgirls of the West continue in their role to help educate and share the rich history of the area. Women’s suffrage is also featured, honoring women who won the right to vote.
The Cowgirls of the West membership of both women and men host an annual brunch/fashion show on the first Monday of Frontier Days™. This fundraiser, open to the public, enables our volunteers to open the museum free of charge during the months of May thru September. This year, the brunch will be on July 22, 2024. It is held at Little America in the Grand Ballrooms. This brunch is the major event for ladies attending Frontier Days™, hosting nearly 600 women and men. Our membership does not require that you rope or ride but that you have the Spirit of the West inside.
The museum has been noted in the New York Times, Cowboys and Indians and several other magazines as a place not to be missed when visiting Cheyenne. The museum welcomes school groups or other groups interested in history. If your group would like to visit please call (307)638-4994 or write to P. O. Box 525, Cheyenne, WY 82003.

The Historic Governors’ Mansion
The Wyoming Executive Mansion, located on the corner of 21st Street and House Avenue, served as home to 19 of Wyoming’s governors and their families, including the nation’s first female governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross. Stepping onto the political stage in 1924 to win this monumental election, she changed America’s history as well as the history of Wyoming. The mansion has been host to United States presidents, famous authors, and neighborhood children. It is now your turn to be our guest.
The stately mansion, designed by Charles Murdock, was modern in 1905 because of its central plumbing, hot water heat, and combination gas and electrical fixtures. This two-and-a-half story structure’s portico features solid sandstone Corinthian columns that were quarried in four sections, carved on-site and assembled. Construction of the mansion began in the spring of 1904 and
was completed that fall. Governor Bryant Brooks and First Lady Mary Naomi Brooks opened the house in January of 1905, beginning a long tradition of entertaining and community service at the mansion by Wyoming’s first families. Governor Stanley and First Lady Bobby Hathaway were instrumental in listing this historic home on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. In July 1977, the Historic Governors’ Mansion opened to the public as a historic house museum. In 2004, an extensive restoration was done on the mansion and it now reflects the history of the home through the various eras.
Enjoy self-guided tours enhanced with cell phone audio tours, as well as videos providing information about Wyoming and its first Executive Residence.
To schedule a group tour, or for more information, call (307)7777878 or visit wyoparks.wyo.gov/ index.php/places-to-go/historicgovernors-mansion.

Cheyenne Bronze Statue Project
Visitors to downtown Cheyenne will enjoy exploring a variety of unique pieces of outdoor art, including brightly painted eight-foot-tall cowboy boots and giant outdoor murals. The most recent addition to the downtown art scene features several bronze sculptures that are part of the Capitol Avenue Bronze Project, a community endeavor that seeks to honor the history and heritage of Cheyenne and the state of Wyoming.
More than a decade ago, Cheyenne businessman Harvey Deselms, proprietor of Deselms Fine Art, envisioned adding a series of art pieces to downtown Cheyenne that celebrate the legacy of the area in a format that will last for generations to come. Visits to
other communities in the region led Deselms to embrace bronze statuary as the most appropriate medium, given the durability of the material, and its association with western culture.
The idea rested in Deselms’ imagination for almost 10 years. Then in 2020, Deselms discovered that Patrick Collins, now Cheyenne’s mayor, shared a parallel vision of bringing more art into downtown, and the Capitol Avenue Bronze Project was conceived. A committee was formed to oversee the project and solicit donations from the community. The response was overwhelming.
“This project is a great example of creating ‘pride of place’,” according to Deselms.
“Our city, and the entire state of Wyoming share a special place in the history of the American
West, and this is a way to leave a lasting legacy through art. As visitors make their way between the depot and the capitol, they have an opportunity to visit one of our many locally owned businesses. Downtown Cheyenne really has a lot to offer.”
The original plan was to install a statue on every street corner along Capitol Avenue from the former Union Pacific Depot, all the way to the state capitol, 28 in total. That goal has been exceeded, as commitments have now been received for 66 statues. The committee now hopes to expand the project to include statues covering a larger portion of downtown.
The statues convey stories of the region, and feature famous historical figures, explorers, settlers, Native Americans, animals, and scenes from everyday life. Each statue sits on a pedestal crafted from bricks matching those of the historic UP depot. Each one features a trib-
ute plaque with an image description, as well as donor, and tribute information if applicable. Local and regional artists have been recruited to sculpt the pieces. If you find yourself in downtown Cheyenne, be sure to make a trek down Capitol Avenue, and take in this unique outdoor art exhibit. Several more sculptures are being planned for the corners along 17th Street and Carey Avenue. In partnership with Arts Cheyenne each statue now has a QR code attached to the pedestal holding the bronze. A complete list of all the bronzes is available at www.artscheyenne.com
For more information on the Capitol Avenue Bronze Project, funding a statue, or making a donation in any amount, please contact Harvey Deselms at (307)4320606, deselmsart@aol.com, or stop by Deselms Fine Art at 303 E. 17th Street in Cheyenne.

Don’t miss visiting the heart of our community since 1886, the Union Pacific Depot. This National Historic landmark is centrally located in the center of downtown Cheyenne. The Cheyenne Depot and Plaza hosts free events throughout the year. The Cheyenne Hispanic Festival, The Cheyenne Celtic Musical Arts Festival and Fridays on the Plaza are recognized throughout Wyoming and Colorado.

Designed in Richardsonian Romanesque style and constructed from polychromatic sandstone, the Union Pacific Depot is widely acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful railroad stations in North America. The Depot is next to the very active main line of Union Pacific, with over 90 trains passing through each day. The Union Pacific Steam Shop is home to the famous 844 and 3985 steam locomotives.
The Transcontinental Railroad map embedded in the terrazzo floor of the Cheyenne Depot lobby is just one of the building’s highlights. The original wood benches in the lobby still bear the cigarette burns from soldiers in transport. The “Coupler Building” is a gorgeous addition to the Depot. The building serves as a beautiful viewing area of trains passing by and an entrance in the second floor baggage attic where the world famous Union Central and Northern HOn3 Model Railroad reside. Built over 30 years by Harry Brunk, this unique 65-foot layout replicates the Colorado and Southern narrow gauge railroads along Clear Creek in Colorado. The towns of Blackhawk, Idaho
Springs, Silver Plume and Georgetown are replicated in exquisite detail on this fabulous model. Ignite the spirit in your summer; experience the romance of the railroad and join us in celebrating the Union Pacific Depot and all that it represents.
