It's obviously a popular spot for walking, jogging and biking as well. They have an artists area with some play equipment and they have some of the infamous boots in this park as well. I only wish we'd had more time to enjoy it.

Staff and volunteers were very welcoming and helpful with providing info about the venue and surrounding areas.

Cheyenne Depot Plaza may be the most accurate physical representation of Cheyenne you will find…read more The building itself is genuinely impressive, though the site overall functions far more as a very nice local stop than a true destination attraction. The centerpiece is the former Union Pacific Depot, constructed in the late 1880s. Designed by architect Henry Van Brunt, the heavy sandstone structure and its 120-foot clock tower remain the defining architectural landmark of the city. Fully restored and designated a National Historic Landmark, it stands as a grand reminder of the transcontinental railroad era that birthed Cheyenne. Inside, the Cheyenne Depot Museum details the rail history of the American West with historical artifacts and an extensive model railroad layout. We did not buy tickets for the full exhibit hall, choosing instead to check out the gift shop and poke around the main lobby. While we were walking through, a young girl was holding her birthday party right there in the historic lobby. It was sweet, charming, and just a tiny bit melancholy. There was nothing wrong with the party itself, which was a perfectly nice family gathering. It was simply the realization that in Cheyenne, a National Historic Landmark double-hats as a primary venue for an eight-year-old's birthday cake. It felt like a wonderfully authentic, highly specific snapshot of local life. The outdoor plaza is a clean brick square that hosts community gatherings and live music during the warmer months. On a quiet afternoon, it is a pleasant spot to walk around, admire the stone masonry, and absorb a bit of Western history without having to work particularly hard for it. Cheyenne is a small city with an easygoing pace that seems to have completely avoided the invention of modern urgency. The Depot building itself is magnificent, but the overall plaza experience is a thirty-minute pit stop rather than a reason to book a trip. If you are already traveling through southern Wyoming, it is well worth pulling off the highway to take a look. Just do not expect a sprawling tourist district once you get there.

This 2026 trip we were able to visit the inside. We saw both legislative branches - the House and the Senate, and the original Supreme Court, where women's right to vote was first guaranteed. The Governor's office is also in the building, thought you are not allowed to enter unless you have an appointment. You'll learn that from the guard at the door, and if you're fortunate like we were, the guard will share much with you about Wyoming and the Capitol Building. I really with I remembered his/your name, Officer... thank you for being so welcoming and for sharing all you shared... how the floor tiles are from Tennessee and Vermont, the wood largely from Michigan; how one of the bannisters is intentionally upside-down, and one spot in the ceiling stained glass is intentionally inaccurate, to reflect the imperfection in us all; history of the state's governors, including the first ever US female governor, and more. There are many historical items, including some items and videos in a room that has a huge safe door for entry. Definitely worth visiting! Just realized... this is the first state capitol we have visited twice! ----- ----- -----

It would be nice if the VFW could partner with the city, and manage it like a city park as well as connecting it to the Greenway path that is just south of it.
