21 Comments on Wyoming Territorial Prison: Not on the List of Butch Cassidy's Favorite Places
Brenda - Okay, not exactly the kind of place I would want to make reservations to stay. I am thinking when it was operational it was not a place people stood in line to get into. Thanks for the blog and the picture is great.
I love trivia like this. Thanks, and I'm glad they are making use of the old building.
Brenda, You're doing a great job of finding interesting things to tell us about Laramie. I'm glad that i subscribed to your blog. Oh, I bet you will enjoy reading my post yesterday about getting horribly stuck in Wyoming's snow.
Hi Maria, Steve and Debbie! If you think it looks cold on the outside, the inside is not much better. The coveted cells were on the ground floor as they got some heat, but up on the second and third floor they were out of luck! Brrrr
Hi Gary, I'm headed over to your blog now, I read about the little white critter (ermine?) that tried to come in but I haven't yet read of your getting stuck in the snow adventure.... lucky you, not!
Brenda--I bet it is even haunted! Looks like a great historical spot to visit!!
Hi Brenda, great post and suggested and hope it gets featured as a great place to visit while visiting Laramie.
I love your posts about these great sites in Laramie. Makes me want to explore the Denver area for more 'wild' in my west!
Pat, You must have E.S.P. - some people do say it is haunted. And the giant, grainy, black and white photos of prisoners past don't help to ease that rumors either!
Rebecca, Awww, thanks, that was so kind of you. It really is a great place to visit.
Hi Joetta, You should come up in October for one of their haunted prison night tours! I've heard they are a blast! They also put on some great live shows in the Horsebarn Theater.
too bad someone needs to pay for the upkeep now. it would have been better off as a stcok farm!
thankls for the history!
Brenda I love this history! Thanks for sharing! I did a report on Butch Cassidy in 7th grade and I remember my fascination with his story and life. My husband just did a wilderness training with his search and rescue group and they camped at Roober's Roost in Southern UT. I'll see if I can get the pictures from it and post them.
I think you're on to something here. There are definately history buffs and they'll be interested in your information about what happened on this piece of land or the story of this real estate. Great idea!
Brenda, as someone who loves American history, thanks for posting this. I enjoyed the brief read. And thanks for giveing me an idea for some post in my neck of the woods.
Chris - Yes, it is true that they originally hoped it would be self-sustaining and I don't think it is. But they did do a really nice job with it all.
Hi Carey, funny how Butch Cassidy is a "mini" american legend - whether he is deserving of that status or not! I've even heard of Robbers' Roost and the time the spent there. I would love to see the pictures, I'll have to watch your future posts.
Brien, I'll bet your neck of the woods has more history than we can imagine! Endless fodder for your blog and visitors in your neck of the woods!
Great, fun post! The outside reminds me of a similar prison in Montana that now houses a great car collection and tours. Thanks for the post!
Brenda,
I'm really enjoying your "Why I love Laramie" series. My hubby grew up in Lander, so through your blog I get to see what it's like there. We are hoping to visit family in Lander this summer, especially since I've never been that far west. I'll be taking a lead from Gary and subscribing also.
Chris, A car collection is a great way to appeal to broader audience. I'll bet your prison was cold and forlorn looking, too!
Hi Virgina, You'll love Lander in the summer. It is gorgeous! I'm sure he'll be taking you to Sinks Canyon to feed the trout and see where the Popo Agie disappears under the ground. Maybe you'll even get to go up the switchbacks - terrifying but well worth it. Hope you get to go!
Sweet I need to bring my kids up to see that. I think I'll wait until winter is over and I-80 is a little less dangerous.
Brenda, This is excellent. I enjoyed reading about Butch when I was younger, and this type of history is very interesting to me. I think I will check out the rest of the Laramie series. Glad this got featured!
Hi Steven and Steve, Thanks for coming by! It really is a fun atmosphere when they are going full force in the summer.
