Joining fun-filled festivities in Cheyenne

Southern Wyoming's Cheyenne, the state's capital, has a ton of fun things to do. It was once the greatest station of the United States Cavalry and was given the Cheyenne Indians' name. The story of Cheyenne's beginnings as a stop on the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867 is still told in the town's museums and historic locations today. The Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo is one of the town's most popular attractions. The late-July rodeo, which has been held every year since 1919 and features 10 days of exciting events, is one of the best in the nation. Visit the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum for a taste of the Wild West during other times of the year. It has rodeo displays and vintage horse-drawn wagons.

The Wyoming State Capitol Building, a National Historic Landmark, the interactive children's exhibits at the Wyoming State Museum, and the historical railroad exhibits at the Cheyenne Depot Museum are some of the other top sights and activities in Cheyenne. Look out for the Big Boy locomotive at Holliday Park, which is close to the depot and one of the biggest steam engines ever constructed.

Location: the capital of Wyoming.
