Cheyenne is a spooky city, with lots of history and lots of paranormal activity. The city’s oldest graveyard, Lakeview Cemetery, is one of the most historic, and creepiest, places you can visit.
For more than 100 years, Cheyenne residents and Wyomingites have been buried in Lakeview Cemetery. It's the city's oldest graveyard, and it's one of the spookier places in town.
If the prospect of an encounter with the paranormal doesn't scare you away, you can take a guided walking tour of the cemetery and learn all about the history of the city as you stumble upon old headstones of early Wyomingites.
Some of the famous graves include that of Frances E. Warren (Governor, Senator, and Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient), Nellie Tayloe Ross (Wyoming's first female Governor), Esther Hobart Morris (Wyoming's first female Justice of the Peace), and Harry Yount (founding father of the National Park system).
Come talk a walk in the shadow of the pines at Lakeview Cemetery to learn all about the history of Cheyenne and of Wyoming.
