As the county seat of Platte County, the town of Wheatland, Wyoming, has a rich and diverse history. This history is commemorated at the Laramie Peak Museum, which is home to an impressive collection of artifacts, photographs, and other mementos. Let's explore the many things to see and do at this prestigious institution. Native Life Exhibit Before the first European settlers arrived in what is now Platte County, the land was inhabited by the Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes. In the Native Life Exhibit, you can learn about how these tribes lived before they came in contact with European settlers. You can view several artifacts uncovered by archeological excavations. Eventually, fur traders would make their way into southeastern Wyoming and trade with tribe members. Clothing and household items introduced by the traders were integrated into the lives of the Platte River tribes, and this integration is also explored at the Laramie Peak Museum. more The Irrigation District In 1883, Wheatland became the home of the United States' first and largest private irrigation district. Headed by Francis E. Warren, then governor of the Territory of Wyoming, this project's mission was to entice more settlers to the area to establish homes and businesses. By 1911, several farms were thriving in the irrigation district, and Wheatland was chosen as the seat of the newly formed Platte County. The Platte County Courthouse was established in Wheatland in 1917. Without the ambitious irrigation project, Wheatland wouldn't be the town it is today. Laramie Peak Museum is home to an impressive collection of photographs, documents, and other mementos related to the formation of the irrigation district. 1890s Classroom Younger museum guests will enjoy a visit to the 1890s classroom, which features authentic desks and learning materials from Wheatland's first schoolhouse. Even the potbelly stove that was used to heat the one-room facility is on display. Kids can draw on the chalkboard, ring the school bell, and see what a school day was like in Wheatland's early days. Rodeo Culture The rodeo plays a significant part in the lives of Wheatland residents. Every August, the town hosts the Platte County Fair and Rodeo. Posters, ribbons, costumes, and other mementos from past rodeos are on display at the Laramie Peak Museum. The museum also pays tribute to Steamboat, the Wheatland-born horse that was the model for the bucking horse famously featured on Wyoming license plates. Steamboat was also the model for the University of Wyoming's logo. Events Throughout the year, Laramie Peak Museum hosts several events celebrating the history and culture of Platte County. Popular events include lectures presented by authors, artists, and scholars from all over Wyoming. Another favorite is the Christmas Open House. During this event, guests can admire the museum Christmas tree and the Christmas Village, complete with a working train set. A special collection of toys is also on display. Because the museum is a nonprofit organization, it also holds several fundraisers and raffles. Participants have the chance to win items such as homemade quilts and Wyoming-themed gifts. As you can see, there's a lot to see and do at the Laramie Peak Museum. Plan a visit today for an experience the entire family will enjoy.   Image via pexels.com

Before the Cheyenne and Northern Railway came to Wheatland, Wyoming, the area was an arid landscape. In 1883, irrigation from the Bluegrass Creek brought farmers and settlers to work and live on the land. As emigrants passed through and more people came to settle and work the railroad and land, the history of Wheatland grew. Learn more about the rich heritage of the area by visiting these three historical sites near Wheatland. Fort Laramie Historic Site One of the most important historical places to visit, Fort Laramie Historic Site, offers a glimpse into the military importance and impact the fort had on the Northern Plains. Built on the confluence of the Laramie and North Platte Rivers, this site served as a trading spot for fur traders. As the fur trade declined in 1834, the site turned into Fort William to help emigrants move safely west. In 1849, the United States Army bought the fort and renamed it Fort Laramie to help establish a strong military presence as the Indian Wars heated up. In addition to the military post, Fort Laramie was an important stop-over site for emigrants, stage lines, the pony express, and the telegraph system. After the buildings and land were abandoned in the late 1880s, the National Park System purchased them in 1938 to preserve the historical importance of Fort Laramie. Begin exploring the site with a stop at the visitor's center to see exhibits and displays. Take a stroll around the grounds to see the buildings, including the barracks, stables, and kitchen. Then, hike the 1.6-mile Confluence Trail to see where the Laramie and North Platte Rivers join. Check the park's website for current conditions, hours, and visitor policies. more Oregon Trail Ruts State Historic Site See wagon ruts from the 1800s when emigrants left the East to travel the Oregon-California trail to start a new life in the West. Parts of the trail came through the Wheatland area, and you can see the ruts carved in stone at Oregon Trail Ruts State Historic Site. The wagons needed to squeeze through a narrow, rocky gorge, and their wheels cut deep gouges into the rock. To this day, you can clearly see where thousands of wagon wheels passed through the gorge, eventually leaving their mark on history. Travel 2 miles from the Oregon Trails Ruts State Historic Site to visit Register Cliffs where emigrants carved their names into the soft sandstone. The cliffs became a checkpoint for other emigrants passing through to see if friends or family members had passed by. The Laramie Peak Museum View displays, exhibits, and artifacts from travelers along the Oregon-California trail, soldiers from Fort Laramie, and settlers who stayed in the Wheatland area at The Laramie Peak Museum. See firearms such as muskets, soldiers' uniforms, household goods, and school desks from the 1880s. The museum receives historical donations from private parties, including fringed buggies, farming equipment, and handmade quilts and clothing from the era. Exhibits and items change regularly, so check back often to see what's new and interesting. We hope you enjoy exploring these unique sites near Wheatland to learn more about the rich history of the area.   Image via pexels.com
