Wyoming’s history is so fascinating! Take a look at these stunning and historic vintage photos of Wyoming and see if you recognize landscapes, whether they’ve changed or they still look the same.
The Railroad expanding into Wyoming made it possible for Americans to travel throughout the Cowboy State and get to see the wonderful landscapes that we call home. Here's a photo from the 1860s showing construction of a bridge over Green River.
Speaking of Green River, did you know the first successful trip down through the Colorado River began here? In 1869, John Wesley Powell led a trip that began in Wyoming and completed a route through the Grand Canyon.
Before Yellowstone's wildlife was more heavily protected, park visitors could interact with the bears. Luckily for everyone, that has changed over the years.
Throughout the years, Wyoming has shifted, grown, and changed - but one thing has stayed the same. Our heritage as a Cowboy State will always be evident.
