The Princess is Douglas' ONLY movie theatre, and under its new ownership it is finally open 7 days a week. The only downfall is that there is still usually just one movie showing per week, and the movie is usually a few weeks old by the time it makes it here. BUT, at least there is somewhere to go in town any day of the week to see the new releases! No more driving to Casper just for a movie... The theatre itself has been beautifully remodeled. It retains it classic, "old theatre" feel, but (thankfully) the seats, sound, and picture have all been updated to provide a much newer, more satisfying experience. Highly recommended while you are in Douglas!

While it may not be an excuse to come out all the way here to southeast Wyoming and see where may or may not be wagon ruts made by 1860 American pioneers trying to make better lives for themselves, it was a nice stopover on my way back to Longmont, CO. I had stopped off at touring the Fort Laramie national historic site and, as aforementioned before, I saw the signage of the Oregon trail Ruts historic site and was curious as to what this place was about. I was in the area and figured why not. I arrived around 4:40pm on a brisk and casual Tuesday afternoon in October 2017. Curiosity lead me to this place, which could be considered either a historical landmark or a public park. In truth, it's a little of both. I don't doubt that there are wagon ruts still existing after 100+ years after the iconic westward movement of people forging ahead to reach the Pacific Northwest and other places in Nevada and California. This historic site provides a glimpse into what it was like back in the 1840's for those who wanted a better life in the United States of America. The overall experience here at the Oregon Trail Ruts historical site was interesting, educational, yet inspiring at the same time. They showcase what is the wagon ruts from all those wagons that made historic journeys from Missouri to various places in Oregon, Nevada, and California. For me, because really nobody was there when I was there, I just seemed like it was just a walk in the park - literally. Too bad there is no replica of a wagon train at this site, although it probably would have been vandalized at some point by some kids. That tends to happen. For me, I just happened to just slowly walk around the pathway that circumnavigate the park and looked around and what was there, which was barely nothing. Just some signage but that's about it. This Oregon trail Ruts historic site is located in a remote area of Wyoming, more specifically, in Xxx. The only good part of this experience was the fact that there is no admission charged for entry. The parking was limited, but there is space for you to park in. For the most part though, the Oregon trail ruts is a piece of history that is preserved in the form of a city / county park and as a historic site here. The American pioneers risked their lives to bring forth a better life for themselves and to bring prosperity to a growing nation. I spent about a good 1 1/2 hours before heading to Register Cliff, which happened to be nearby (2 miles). There is a restroom next to the parking area, but I don't think they have public wifi here. I can't say that you may enjoy coming here to the Oregon trail ruts historic site, but if you are fan of the Oregon trail and a general history buff, you may be interested in this. Plus, it's on the way back to Denver and Cheyenne, Wy from Laramie, Wy. You are kind of in the middle of nowhere though, so best bet is to come here with a decent amount of gas in your car and explore the sites in the area, while coming here to see the Oregon trail ruts that these American pioneers have made to create a nation over 150 years ago. I would recommend coming here if you have the time and want to see it. It is kind of on the way, if you are coming from Denver and Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Time well spent. 4.5 stars for the entire experience. Thanks to these brave souls, we would have an America we can be proud of today. Support local! B

Be sure to walk through the officers quarters to see the furnished rooms. Such a cool glimpse of days gone by! It was fascinating to use the informational signs to try and imagine what the fort looked like as a bustling community. It was especially interesting to me because I had an ancestor who came through and spent time here back in the 1850s. The people in the museum/gift shop were friendly and informative, and even offered a list of all the Bugle calls that played periodically while we were there. I loved that! This would be a great place to visit for adult adults and children alike.

Fur trading post turned military outpost [Laramie WY]…read more We arrived at 4:32p and, luckily, the Visitors Center was still open and I was able to get my National Park passport stamped. The museum showcased items from eras past. When we visited Fort Laramie we learned that this was another iconic landmark and a major outpost stop because it served the needs to thousands of emigrants on the historic Oregon, Mormon, and California trails. Other historic routes that passed through Fort Laramie were the Transcontinental telegraph route, the Deadwood and Cheyenne stage routes and even the Pony Express Route between St Joseph Missouri and Sacramento California! whoa wow! Yes, a small monument stood at the park with a plaque that mentioned the Pony Express route and SacTown! I then enjoyed poking my head inside the structures. Uniforms, weapons and other artifacts were on display. Seeing the exhibit at the restored Cavalry Barracks was pretty cool too. There are clean restrooms inside. One of the structures, the Old Bedlam, is the oldest standing building in the State of Wyoming. Imagine that, and I got a chance to see it. Question: Who was the Army defending the emigrants against? Not foreigners but the American Indians which ended upon the death of Sitting Bull in 1890. The Army abandoned the fort that same year. The park is open everyday from dawn until dusk but the Museum and Visitors Center from 8:00a to 4:30p Learning history as we go. Happy travels! Review #3478

The RV park is ........we'll, if your just looking for a place to camp for the night......it's got full hookups. Not sure if I could go so far as to say it's better than a rest area or a Walmart parking lot. It is pretty run down. There is a restaurant on the property, but it smelled bad, so we didn't go there for breakfast. There are train tracks adjacent to the property and yes the trains activate their horns while going by. But, that's because they are traversing a road crossing and are mandated by Federal Transportation rules to do so. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The rv park is only about thee miles from Ft. Laramie National Historic Landmark. The park was relatively quiet, and the hookups were welcomed in the heat of the day.
