"Union Pacific Depot" Top 5 Page for this destination Cheyenne Things to Do Tip by toonsarah

The Union Pacific Depot dominates downtown Cheyenne. The building houses a number of different attractions. The main one is of course the museum, which tells the story of the building of the Union Pacific Railway and how it succeeded in connecting the two coasts of the country; the founding of the city of Cheyenne and the role the railroad played in this; the lives of the people who worked on the railroad; and the history of the Depot building itself.

But the building is also home to a visitor information centre which covers all the attractions and facilities in the city and a little souvenir shop where we found some good-quality gifts for family back home. It’s worth coming into the building just to see the amazing and beautifully restored lobby.

The building also houses a great bar and restaurant, the Snake River Bar & Grill – see my separate Restaurant tip on this.
