New Exhibit!
"America's 200th: Bicentennial in Wyoming"
Dec. 22, 2025 - Dec. 2026
While we’re gearing up for America’s 250th birthday next year, we’re also taking a look back at America’s last big celebration - the 1976 Bicentennial.
Opening on Dec. 22, our newest exhibit, “America’s 200th: Bicentennial in Wyoming”, will feature artifacts exclusively from our own collection. You’ll learn about how Wyoming and the Nation came together, what initiatives can still be seen today, and view artifacts celebrating the Bicentennial!
The exhibit will be open through Dec. 2026.
