Cheyenne Depot Museum, Cheyenne

Cool little museum with a lot of railroad and Cheyenne history! The model trains dioramas were cool but it’s a shame they weren’t operating. We didn’t have kids with us but it seems like they might get a little bored since there’s limited things for them to interact with. Lots of awesome detailed reading and history for adults though. The audio tour was cool too since it uses your phone and you just dial in for each area. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting Cheyenne.

The Union Pacific oriented museum is loaded with historical information and pictures, which is a blessing for rail fans who want to read it all but a headache creator for those want just the key bullet points. There is a fantastic miniature model railroad exhibit. One of the last Big Boy Steam engines, the largest ever built is in a park 3 minutes by car from the museum.
