Wyoming State Historic Sites Offer Free Admission in Honor of International Museum Day

 

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – May 16, 2025 – Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites are proud to participate in the global celebration of International Museum Day by offering free admission to all state historic sites on Sunday, May 18.

 

Observed annually around the world, International Museum Day highlights the essential role museums play in preserving cultural heritage, inspiring learning, and enriching everyday life. To mark the occasion, Wyoming's historic sites will open their doors to the public at no cost, inviting residents and visitors to discover the people, places, and stories that shaped the state's identity.

 

"Museums serve as powerful connectors, linking our past to the present and promoting curiosity, dialogue, and reflection," said Christina Bird, District Manager of Wyoming State Parks. "On International Museum Day, we are excited to invite everyone to explore our state historic sites and engage with the legacy and lessons of Wyoming's rich history."

 

From the historic crossroads of Fort Bridger, where travelers once stopped along the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails, to the elegant halls of Trail End Mansion in Sheridan, which showcases early 20th-century life, Wyoming’s historic sites offer unforgettable experiences across the state. Explore frontier military life at Fort Phil Kearny, discover Cold War secrets at the Quebec 01 Missile Alert Facility, or walk the cell blocks of the Wyoming Territorial Prison, where some of the West’s most notorious outlaws were once held.

Wyoming State Parks Promotes National Safe Boating Week: Encouraging Responsible Recreation

 

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – May 14, 2025 – Wyoming State Parks is proud to announce its participation in National Safe Boating Week, from May 17 to May 23, 2025. This annual initiative, led by the National Safe Boating Council, aims to promote safe and responsible boating practices nationwide. Wyoming is excited to encourage both seasoned boaters and new recreationists to prioritize safety while enjoying Wyoming's waters.

 

As boating season kicks off, Wyoming State Parks reminds all outdoor enthusiasts of the importance of responsible recreation. Being prepared is essential whether you're paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying a day on the water. This year's theme emphasizes the "Wear It!" campaign, promoting the use of life jackets for all boaters, as they are crucial for safety on the water.

 

"National Safe Boating Week is a perfect opportunity for us to remind everyone about the importance of safe practices while enjoying our state's impressive waterways," said Mark Caughlan, Chief Ranger of Wyoming State Parks. "We want everyone to have a memorable and safe experience this summer, starting with being informed and prepared."

 

When engaging in boating activities, it is crucial to prioritize safety. First and foremost, ensure that everyone on board is wearing a properly fitted life jacket, as it significantly increases the chances of survival in an emergency. Familiarizing yourself with your boat's features and safety equipment is equally important, allowing you to respond effectively in various situations. Always carry essential safety gear, such as a first aid kit and fire extinguisher, depending on your craft, to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

 

Planning ahead is another vital aspect of boating safety; preparing a float plan and sharing it with friends or family who are not on the water ensures that someone is aware of your whereabouts. Lastly, it is essential to stay sober while boatingBoating under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal and poses significant risks to all on board. By following these safety precautions, you can enjoy a safer and more enjoyable boating experience.

 

Several Wyoming State Parks offer boating opportunities, including Boysen State Park, Buffalo Bill State Park, Curt Gowdy State Park, Edness K. Wilkins State Park, Glendo State Park, Guernsey State Park, Hawk Springs State Recreation Site, Hot Springs State Park, Keyhole State Park, and Seminoe State Park.

 

Additionally, all motorized watercraft must be registered, and most boats require an aquatic invasive species decal. For further details on boating regulations, including registration and required decals, visit the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's website at wgfd.wyo.gov.

 

Follow us on Facebook for daily reminders and tips related to National Safe Boating Week and help spread the word at @WyomingStateParks.

 

Join us in making this summer a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on the water. For more information about Wyoming State Parks, please visit our website at wyoparks.wyo.gov

Wyoming Arts Council Launches Youth Arts Council

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wyoming Arts Council Launches Youth Arts Council
 

CHEYENNE, Wyo. May 7, 2025 – The Wyoming Arts Council is excited to announce the formation of the Wyoming Youth Arts Council, a new statewide leadership initiative designed to empower high school students through the arts.

 

Open to Wyoming high school students ages 15–19, the Youth Arts Council offers an opportunity for young people to grow as leaders, deepen their creative practice, and contribute to the future of arts and culture in Wyoming. The idea for the Youth Arts Council came from recognizing how the arts can shape strong, adaptable leaders.

 

“Growing up in Wyoming, I had access to leadership programs that changed the trajectory of my life, but it was applying those skills in the arts that helped me become a more thoughtful, creative, and resilient leader,” said Amara Fehring, community development and arts learning specialist at the Wyoming Arts Council. “We are starting this program because we want Wyoming youth to have that same opportunity: to discover their voice, grow their leadership, and see the arts not only as a creative outlet but as a way to make a meaningful impact on their communities.”

 

Over eight months, members will explore careers in the creative sector, develop leadership and communication skills, and gain insight into the creative economy, arts policy, and public funding. They’ll also participate in workshops on arts education, advocacy, grant writing, and arts programming, culminating in a youth-led creative project that connects their passions and skills. Council members will engage with peers and mentors across the state and receive a stipend for their service and contributions.

 

“Young people have powerful ideas, creative energy, and valuable insights into what their communities need,” said Fehring. “The Youth Arts Council will give them the tools and support to lead with confidence and creativity.”

 

Students, educators, mentors, and community members are encouraged to submit applications or nominations via Submittable between May 5 and August 22, 2025, at wyomingartscouncil.submittable.com/submit. The first cohort will launch in October 2025.
