Cheyenne is a really nice quaint city that doesn’t feel like a city and has lots of western history and charm.  It almost seems like there must be another part of the city that’s “the city” because around here it’s so laid back and no high-rise buildings. Cheyenne is Wyoming’s capital and is named after the Cheyenne Indians who inhabited southeast Wyoming before the white men came.  Almost every building has a history, and it looks it.  The State Capitol was built in 1887 and is a beautiful building with a gold-leaf dome and what claims to be the largest bronze buffalo in the world.  They also have a bronze statue out front of a cowboy riding a bucking bronco.  They say this depicts the spirit of the Wyoming people – They came and rustled with the land and survived.
