Great restoration of the Wyoming Territorial Prison supported by artifacts and photos of known criminals who were housed here. The Dinner Horsebarn Theatre and Museum, using the old horsebarn, has been fantastically repurposed. Expect to see what life in the 19th century was like, with the reconstruction of an old town and cabins. Even the broom-making is realistic! It's an affordable look into the history of prison life on the Wyoming high plains.

This is a real slice of Western life as it was both in the main prison building and the surrounding buildings collection.Loads of free parking and ridiculously cheap admission price.

I stopped here while in town for a graduation. I gotta say not what I expected at all. Everything was so interesting and loved learning about the history behind it all. If you come Laramie this is a must see

Friendly staff, very informative museum, nice layout, interesting stories, even though we don't have small children I think it is done in a way that the whole family could enjoy.

This was a fun place for everyone. I'm still not sure what is original and what was remade (it housed barn animals for the university for some time after it was a prison but before becoming a museum). Great stories of some of the famous people who were there. Just a cool place I'd recommend as a stopover.

This is one of the best historical museums I've ever been to. The cost is so reasonable (I would even say cheap!) for what you are treated to. Many of the buildings of this old prison have been reconstructed to give you a feel for what prison life was like back then - not only for the prisoners, but also for the staff. After paying the tour fee, we were each given a "mug shot" of a prisoner. This is a completely self-guided tour, so you can take your time looking at all the exhibits and reading all the histories. Expect it to take a while - at least two hours. In the main prison building, on the walls, are pictures of inmates and brief histories of them - how many years they served, if their sentences were commuted, etc. It was so much fun to search for - and find - the history of the prisoner whose picture I was issued (she was not a nice person!). We toured the prison industries building. The docent, Craig, was so helpful, and showed us how brooms were made by the inmates. Our visit ended by our "mug shots" being stamped "Released". Fun and very interesting!

This museum was very historical and ton's of interesting information about the prison, the prisoners who were kept there and the general area. It was nicely laid out with many fascinating exhibits both inside and outside. Great for the whole family.

This is a very good preservation of an old territorial prision. The tour is worth the time. It is interesting to find out "WHO" stayed here in the past; some well know characters.This is a great place to bring the family as the park and other buildings are well preserved and of historic interest as well. Bring a lunch and spend some time in the Old West.
