Statehood Day Celebration at the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site in Laramie

LARAMIE, Wyo. – June 19, 2025 – The Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site will celebrate Wyoming's 1890 statehood with a special event on July 10. Guests can enjoy free admission all day, with activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., thanks to the sponsorship of the Wyoming Territorial Park Historic Association.

"We are thrilled to invite the community to join us in celebrating Wyoming's rich history on Statehood Day," said Jessica Lira, superintendent of the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site. "This event will be a wonderful opportunity for families to experience 19th-century life and create lasting memories. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site!"

This family-friendly celebration will feature a variety of activities, including appearances by Cowboy Joe, Jubilee Days Royalty, a balloon twister, and costumed interpreters portraying life in 19th-century Laramie. Laramie's Sagebrush Stringband will provide live music from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Each visitor will receive a complimentary cupcake while supplies last, and food trucks will be on-site, offering a variety of delicious options.

Activities include demonstrations of candle-making and hand-processed wool, along with a stick horse rodeo for children aged five and under. For just $20, visitors can capture a piece of history with a professional tintype portrait taken using a camera with a lens from the 1800s.

Built in 1872, the Wyoming Territorial Prison has a storied history, housing over 1,000 outlaws, including the infamous Butch Cassidy. After a new prison was constructed in Rawlins in 1903, the facility was repurposed by the University of Wyoming as an agricultural experiment station until 2004, when it became managed by Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources as a historic site.

The regular operating hours for the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site are from May through September, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and October through April, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday through Saturday.

Wyoming Veterans in Focus: Oral History & Photo Exhibit Project

LARAMIE, Wyo. — June 16, 2025— The Wyoming Department of State Parks and Historic Sites, Wyoming State Archives, and Wyoming Arts Council are partnering on a project to gather and exhibit portraits and oral histories of Wyoming military veterans. The exhibition will open in the temporary exhibit gallery at the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site in time for Memorial Day 2026. "Wyoming Veterans in Focus: Oral History and Photo Exhibit Project" ensures that Wyoming veterans' experiences are preserved in their own words through conversations with those who share the unique bond of military service. The project pairs veterans with fellow veterans of all ages to conduct interviews about their experiences and lives in Wyoming. There will be 3-5 formal interview dates at locations across the state. Each scheduled session will include professional portrait photography to preserve the stories and faces of Wyoming's military community.

There are two main ways to be involved:

Wyoming State Archives staff is overseeing the oral histories, including training veterans to conduct oral histories, editing, and preserving the information collected. Veterans interested in participating as either an interviewer or as an interviewee can complete an online participation form by June 30, 2025. The form is available at: https://forms.gle/goQaYziX5Vp9CEMq5
The Wyoming Arts Council is administering a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select one portrait photographer who will conduct photo shoots around the state and produce high-quality, printed, and mounted photos for the exhibition. The RFQ is open to Wyoming photographers, and those with current or former military experience are encouraged to apply. The deadline to apply to the RFQ is June 26, 2025 and is available online at: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=15533

Additionally, this program includes the distribution of the poster statewide, nationally, and internationally. Traditionally, the poster program features and celebrates an archaeological site or artifact from Wyoming.
