In 1897 when Cheyenne businessmen were looking for a way to promote their little town of 14,000 people they decided that a rodeo would be just the thing to draw people from all around. The first Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo was a full day of horse racing, steer roping and bronc riding with barbeque dinners and dancing in the streets. The rodeo has grown to a 10 day celebration that is attended by nearly 200,000 people.
The museum covers the history of Frontier Days with memorabilia and exhibits on some of the more well known contestants. A large and varied carriage collection includes many that are used in the Frontier Day parades.
The museum is accessible.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Museum 41.15758, -104.83363
