There are plenty of historical attractions in Cheyenne. Highlights include:
- The Historic Atlas Theatre – The Historic Atlast Theatre is owned and operated by Cheyenne Little Theatre. Home to the annual Old Fashioned Melodrama every summer, the building is also used for touring acts, private events, and other theatrical productions throughout the year.
- Eight-Foot-Tall Cowboy Boots – There have been multiple eight-foot-tall cowboy boots that have been carefully painted by local artists to show the history of Cheyenne and Wyoming. Go on a scavenger hunt and find them all!
There are places to go for fun activities for the whole family. Highlights include:
- Board & Brush Creative Studio – The goal at this wonderful studio is to turn you into a “DIY master” by educating guests to understand and appreciate the beauty of raw materials—the wood, the knots, the color variations and the simple imperfections that will make everyone’s project unique.
There are plenty of restaurants to enjoy whether during the day or later in the evening. Highlights include:
- Blue Raven Brewery – In downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming in the Corson House historical home. Stop by and enjoy a pint of craft beer on their patio or inside their historic tasting room.
