The Cheyenne Depot Museum was featured in the Cheyenne visitor information packet we obtained from the Visitor Center, along with a coupon for discounted admission, which was why we decided to stop here on a recent visit to the historic downtown Cheyenne plaza and rail yard area. The museum features numerous and colorful exhibits regarding the history of Cheyenne and the beginning of the Transcontinental Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. Staff is available to answer questions if you have any, and we were even allowed to bring our dog inside on the hot summer day we visited, provided he was "friendly and leashed."This museum is worth a visit if you have time while in the historic downtown area of Cheyenne.

Very well done train museum that explains Cheyenne's founding as a 'Hell on Wheels" town during the building of the transcontinental railroad. Good parking,nice gift shop and a few close by places for lunch. Nice outing.

I love touring train museums and this one was very good. They had a nice model train layout plus the windows overlooked the train yards......we then went out and found the Union Pacific "Big Boy" locomotive. The largest locomotive in the world and a monster it is....

We took a side trip while on a Colorado vacation to visit Cheyenne, WY and the Cheyenne Depot Museum. The depot building is huge, and a great example of depot design and construction. The museum occupies about 1/3 of the depot and includes many photographs, models, and details that would interest anyone who appreciates history. There is also a large HO narrow gauge model railroad on the second floor. The gift shop has items that are unavailable anywhere else, including Union Pacific items that I could not get at the employee company store. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and gave me proper directions to see the Big Boy locomotive displayed at the city park. We really enjoyed our visit to this museum and would highly recommend it.

Well-arranged story of the Union Pacific in the area and how railroading has changed with the advent of the diesel locomotive.

I underestimated the amount of nothing in Cheyenne for this to be considered their "downtown". It's a pleasant little museum with a Boot Barn and two restaurants surrounding it. It's $7 a person to tour the small museum. Not horrible, but be sure to ask the visitor desk for a coupon book which has among others, $1 off admission. You can tell the museum is run by locals and lovers of history. There's a lot of missing pieces and misspellings in the information about the artifacts, which makes it that much more quaint and a definite sign that this is a labor of love. Worth a stop if your traveling through and enjoy trains and history.

Make sure you stop and see this wonderful history of how Cheyenne came to be and the history of the railroad. So many interesting displays and items from long ago. Make sure you go upstairs and see the model layout because those guys are experts when it comes to model railroading! So glad we stopped here. Kids loved it and took lots of photos for their teachers since they just covered this information in class.

We were visiting Fort Collins, CO and on a whim, decided to drive to Cheyenne, WY. When we arrived in the city we found this great museum. It had great information and photos of the trains from the early train days. The best part for us, was the Thomas the Train set in the corner that the kids played with while the parents were able to actually look at the photos and read the information. The observation deck overlooking the train tracks and the model trains upstairs were a hit with everyone as well.

First class museum and well worth the small entry fee. The photographic history alone was worth it, but then they had so many cool train artifacts. It was a great side-trip for us in Cheyenne. Highly recommended.

I did not go inside the museum as it had a charge and I was mostly interested in the building. The building & the Plaza in front of it have kind of a magical feeling around sunset and afterwards. As long as it's not too cold!
