Cheyenne Depot Museum
Cheyenne Depot Museum is in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The museum is in the former Union Pacific Depot, a National Historic Landmark.
We stopped at the museum on Our Perfect Trip, which was a trip that went from planned to spontaneous. There was originally no plan to stop in Wyoming. The Museum is one of the most memorable parts of visiting Wyoming.
The room of model railroad towns captivated my attention as I noticed the details in the large exhibit.
The interactive model train was a fun surprise. We could control the speed and direction of the train.
My kids had fun hiding the train in the tunnel and stopping at the “stations” to pick up imaginary passengers. They had a lot of fun while the train looped around the table.
