Historic carriages and wagons of the American West
Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum
Marvel at one of the nation's largest collection of historic horse-drawn carriages and wagons at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum. Immerse yourself in the everyday use of wagons and carriages in late 19th and early 20th century prairie life. Explore the drama and mystery of people who crossed a continent seeking a new life in the West. Imagine the hardship of early transcontinental transportation. Experience the grandeur and style of horse-drawn vehicles of Wyoming's early settlers. See first-hand what Cheyenne's early pioneers, entrepreneurs, ranchers and homesteaders used daily at work and play.
Some of the collection of over 150 historic carriages and wagons include:
Many of the carriages are paraded annually during Cheyenne Frontier Days parades in downtown Cheyenne during the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days celebrations. However, some of the more delicate carriages and wagons are only able to be seen at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum.
