Cheyenne Sights and Attractions
Cheyenne offers a wide variety of things to see and do for both the locals and visitors spending an all too brief period of time in this beautiful city. Many visitors are pleasantly surprised to find such a range of features and attractions to tempt them and providing activities taking in the history of the city and surrounding area as well as the more exciting diversions including a busy nightlife, busy cultural scene and of course, the surrounding countryside provides numerous opportunities for outdoor pursuits and recreation.
Cheyenne itself provides numerous spots for taking in the city's historic past; the Tivoli Building is home to the Chamber of Commerce and was completed in 1892 and is major landmark building being one of the best examples in the country of Victorian architecture and at first site it appears almost incongruous in the Rocky Mountain landscape. Architecture buffs can also get their fill with other notable buildings such as the Union Pacific Depot which is a fine example of Romanesque architecture and underlines the fact that no one set of influences has dominated the development of Cheyenne.
A popular attraction in the same vein is the State Capitol building which also contains several photographic displays and wildlife exhibitions as well as being a fine architectural example in its own right. The surrounding setting is also the backdrop for very popular guided walking tours which allow the visitor to take the city ambience in at a leisurely pace.
In 1946 the French Merci Train was a gift from France to the American people for the food that was sent in the immediate post-War years. The Big Boy steam locomotive "Old Number 4004" is also the world's largest steam locomotive having seen service until its retirement from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1956. Staying with the military theme, Warren Air Force Base is located nearby and houses intercontinental ballistic missiles with free guided (or guarded) tours available daily.
Wyoming is also cowboy country and the cattle barons had herds of prime beef grazing over the hundreds of thousands of acres of their ranches while Cheyenne also acted a major hub for shipping beef to the rest of the country. The Wyoming Hereford Ranch is the oldest continuously operating ranch in the country and it acts as a host for numerous events and occasions. Another working ranch is the Terry Bison Ranch which caters specifically for visitors with a chuckwagon serving up cowboy cuisine and providing great trout fishing and horse-drawn wagon tours of the bison herd.
The Cheyenne Civic Center acts as the focus for cultural events with numerous productions and performances including Broadway shows, major symphony performances as well as concerts from the resident Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra along with guest performers. In addition, the Cheyenne Little theater stages numerous plays and shows through September to May with a summer season held at the historic Atlas Theater.
Cheyenne's cultural offerings also include several museums and exhibitions notably the Wyoming State Museum with its displays of memorabilia from the days of the Wild West chronicling the history of the state. The Nelson Museum of the West further develops the cowboy and Wild West history theme and includes major displays and exhibits of native Indian artifacts and wildlife presentations. The Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum has an excellent range of Native American art and specifically Ogdala Sioux as well as exhibits from the union Pacific railroad and one of the largest collections of horse drawn coaches and wagons.
