Docents will gladly orient you to the home before sending you on a self guided tour of the Mansion. We are happy to welcome you as our guest to Wyoming's First Executive Mansion!

Walking through the Historic Governor's Mansion in Cheyenne is like a trip back in time. We walked in just as another party walked out. I think due to COVID-19 they are limiting the number of people in the building at the same time. This is a self-guided tour, with signs that keep you moving in the correct direction as you go from room to room. The first room you enter has portraits on the wall of all the Wyoming governors, including the first female governor (I believe in the entire country). It is quite interesting to see how the appearance of the governors changed since the first governor (in both facial hair as well as how they dressed). There are other rooms to see, such as bedrooms, the kitchen, and a dining room with a grand piano. All rooms have original items that were in the house. We were told the items on the second floor were gathered from various locations, so they might not have originally been in the mansion. Depending on how intently you want to look at what is in the mansion, you can tour it in 30 minutes or 2 hours. For my wife, who deals in antiques, this was a great stop on our tour. For me, I just liked seeing the history of how people lived so many years ago. There is no charge to tour the mansion, but they do have a donation jar...which we added to. There is also the host who lets each party into the mansion. He can answer any questions you may have. I would definitely say you should take the tour. It's fun and educational.

This train was a gift from the French in appreciation for the American Friendship Train that supplied food to the French during World War II. On its "thank you" tour, the Merci Train deposited a boxcar full of presents at each state capital.

This is my preferred route between Cheyenne and Laramie in the summer. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife. You'll almost always see antelope and deer but you might also see elk, moose, etc. It's a nice scenic drive and is perfect for motorcycles.

This place is just simply amazing. Amazing. Through and through. I'll start at the beginning I guess. Ok, so you get to the location and have to drive down this crazy, long, windy, hilly, gravel road. The first day there it was intimidating - you don't see many short, flat, gravel roads where I live, let alone one that appeared ready for xtreme off roading to my city-eyes. There were funny signs along the drive that reassured you you were going the right way though and after that initial drive we quickly learned that it really was no big deal at all to navigate to and from the location. The cabin we slept at was perfect. Picture perfect even. It has all the comforts of home, but the views of paradise. We woke up to a stunning sunrise, a gorgeous deck just perfect for coffee among the sounds of the horses in the nearby pasture, and even a friendly ranch dog named Hiya that liked to cruise around the grounds. The cabin was comfortable, peaceful, clean, and amazing. We did a trail ride - it was about an hour long, and trust me, we are not experienced horse people. My husband has seen a few horses from a distance, that's all the riding experience he had. I took some lessons when I was the ripe old age of 12. My 8yr old was the talented one as we signed her up for a few lessons this spring, but my 6yr old had only ridden a carnival pony in circles once. So to say the least I was a bit curious how this would all work out - - - but it was fine! Better than fine! We all got along with no issues at all and we got to see the amazing area around the ranch too. Truly a memorable experience. We've been home a few days now, and we saw many many sights on our vacation (Yellowstone/Tetons/Devil's Tower/Rushmore/Rodeo/etc) and all my kids can talk about is the horses at this ranch. Well, the horses and the dog Hiya :) Let's see. We also saw the dinner show that's on site and it was fabulous. You get a dinner - steaks, beans, baked potato, apple sauce, brownie - that is top notch. Maybe I was just extra hungry that day, but that food was perfectly cooked. I've eaten at some top rated restaurants at home in Chicago. Forget them. This steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The dinner show part was a band of sorts with...(let me show my musical ignorance here....) I believe a banjo, a violin, maybe a fiddle??, a guitar or two, and an upright bass? as well as two vocalists. There was some singing, some jokes, some jibbing on fellow bandmates, and really just an overall good time. From young to old, we all really enjoyed the show and the atmosphere. So. As far as a review? Maybe I need a few more days to get over the afterglow, it's only been a week or so, but my review is as-good-as-it-could-possibly-get. I can't even think of a negative - or even a less-than-great thing to comment on. Well, if I'm really trying, perhaps I should mention that there's no AIR in their stinking air there. The whole place (I'm pretty convinced the whole dang state) is at a high altitude. And they don't know what the heck flat land even is.....so I spent a ton of time huffing and puffing and chugging water because altitude sickness is a real thing, let me tell you!
