Cheyenne

Cheyenne is Wyoming’s capitol city, and was named after an Indian tribe of the plains. The Wyoming State Capitol building resembles the nations capitol in Washington D.C. Built in 1887, its glistening gold leaf dome can be seen from miles around. Self guided tours can be taken weekdays from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. There are spectacular Tiffany style stain glass ceilings in the house and Senate Chambers, painted murals & fine art throughout the building along with beautiful architecture and woodwork.
