I worked for FE Warren as the travel consultant and have met many personnel that went to the capsule/cave and I decided to go see for myself. Very informative, tour very interesting, bring a jacket as this is nature's AC 50 feet below the surface. Very interesting to think about being out here during the tense Cold War Era. Take the trip off exit 39 on I 25 you'll be glad you did!!!

Even if you are not in Cheyenne during Frontier Days in July, you can go to this museum at any time. The memorabilia about Frontier Days and Wyoming are interesting and nicely displayed. What really stands out is that there is also a huge stage coach collection, including carriages from other parts of the country. There are so many that there is an entire auditorium sized room as overflow of carriages. It's amazing that they are all in this one museum.

This was quite a surprise. There are fabulous exhibits here ranching from taxidermy animals that the collector, Bob Nelson, had either collect or hunted himself to weapons, saddles and Native American items. Upstairs there are displays about a long-time sheriff and outlaw exhibits. It's really well put together. We enjoyed this museum so much. In addition to the military uniformed mannequins Mr. Nelson has another collection of military uniforms, metals etc across the street. This area must be visited with s member of the museum. We were guided by the Director. Many of these are from contemporary military persons that have been donated. You may recognize some of the names. Just fantastic.

An amiable gentleman greeted us upon our arrival—fascinating information about the impact of many women on Wyoming and the West. Much of the information I never knew before. The details about the individuals [and other] were easy to read, and there were many authentic visual props, pictures, and other infographics to tell the story better. We stopped by as we were walking on the Boot tour. No charge for entering, but we left a donation to keep the lights on. Make an effort to visit during visiting hours.

The Cheyenne Depot Museum is housed in the renovation Union Pacific Cheyenne Depot, a National Historic Landmark. The museum provides a journey through the history of Cheyenne. It also houses the world famous model railroad layout, the Union Central & Northern, an HOn3 scale layout created by Harry Brunk.

Excellent place to visit in general and the depot museum certainly a must. Very informative staff and, as you would expect, full of train memorabilia and the model train exhibit (which one man took years to complete) is well worth seeing and children would love it. Lots of things to do and see in cheyenne itself and we would recommend the horse drawn carriage ride where a very b Knowledgeable gentleman driver gives so much local information on the historic buildings as you ride in style.
