Wyoming State Capitol
Discover one of only 20 state capitols in the nation designated as a National Historic Landmark—the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne.
With roots dating back to 1888, this iconic Cheyenne attraction stands as a proud symbol of Wyoming’s heritage, government and architectural grandeur.
Step inside the Wyoming State Capitol and take in its stunning neoclassical design—featuring hand-carved stone, intricate mosaic tile floors and a soaring stained-glass dome imported from England. Meticulously restored, the building reflects Wyoming’s pioneering spirit while continuing to serve as the working seat of state government. On the second floor, visit the historic chamber where delegates gathered on March 26, 1890, to introduce the bill that would lead to Wyoming’s statehood. Central to their debate was the bold decision to protect a woman’s right to vote—a right Wyoming women had already held since 1869, five decades before it was recognized nationally. Just months later, on July 10, 1890, President Benjamin Harrison signed the bill making Wyoming the 44th state in the Union.
