Storytelling is an incredibly useful tool in preservation advocacy, and our friends at the Wyoming Aviation Heritage League are looking for your stories and connections to the historic 1960s Terminal, which is listed on our Watchlist of Endangered Places!

Hi, Cheyenne and neighbors!

We’re working on a special social media campaign to highlight YOUR stories.

After this year’s Air Festival, we were reminded of just how many of you have personal connections to the old terminal building and stories we had never heard before.

We want to hear them. ❤️

Because these stories are what keep aviation history alive in Wyoming. Every photograph, memory, and little story helps us document the history of this building and, most importantly, the people who made it part of our community.

📸 Do you have pictures from inside the old terminal building?
Maybe from a flight you took, a trip you went on, or a time you picked up a loved one from the airport?

💭 Do you have a story about the building?
It doesn’t have to be a big or extraordinary story. Sometimes the smallest memories are the ones worth preserving.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Want to share your family’s connection to the terminal?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, we would love to hear from you!

We want everyone who comes across our page to see just how much this building has meant and continues to mean to the Cheyenne community.

Here’s how you can help:

📌 Comment below with your stories
📸 Send us your photos through Messenger
👵 Ask your family members if they have memories or photos to share
🔄 Share this post with your friends and family

And one more thing! 👀

We’re also looking for community members who would be willing to sit down with us for a short video interview about their memories of the terminal.

If you’d like to be interviewed, please reach out to us through Messenger. We have a limited number of interview spots available.

Let’s preserve these memories together.

Your story could be the piece of Wyoming aviation history we’ve been missing.

We appreciate each of you!

Tucked beneath the spectacular Teton Range near Moose, White Grass Dude Ranch offers a glimpse into the early days of dude ranching in Jackson Hole!

Established in 1913, White Grass was one of the valley’s earliest dude ranches, welcoming visitors who came West in search of horseback riding, outdoor adventure, and a taste of ranch life beneath the Tetons. The ranch operated for decades before eventually becoming part of Grand Teton National Park, where its historic log buildings remain an important piece of Wyoming’s tourism and dude-ranching history.

Today, White Grass has found a new purpose as the Western Center for Historic Preservation, where preservation specialists learn the traditional skills needed to care for historic buildings throughout the National Park System. While you can’t book a dude-ranch stay there anymore, visitors to Grand Teton can still explore the surrounding landscape and enjoy a vacation among the same mountains, trails, and open spaces that drew White Grass guests more than a century ago.

History and adventure make pretty good traveling companions!

Looking to escape into the mountains while enjoying a little Wyoming history? Tucked away in the beautiful Bighorn Mountains west of Sheridan, Spear-O-Wigwam has been welcoming visitors to experience the wild beauty of northern Wyoming for generations.

Established as a dude ranch in 1923, Spear-O-Wigwam offered guests a rustic retreat filled with horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and plenty of fresh mountain air. Its history even includes a famous visitor: a young Ernest Hemingway stayed at the ranch in 1928 while working on A Farewell to Arms.

Today, Spear-O-Wigwam continues that tradition as a mountain campus and recreation destination operated by Sheridan College. Visitors can explore the surrounding trails, forests, lakes, and streams while experiencing a historic piece of Wyoming’s dude-ranching heritage.

Sometimes the perfect vacation is simply a cabin, a mountain trail, and a little history.

Looking for a Wyoming getaway where history comes with a view? Nestled beneath the Tetons near Moose, Triangle X Ranch has been welcoming guests to experience Wyoming’s wide-open spaces for nearly a century!

The Turner family established Triangle X in 1926, and what began as a working ranch soon became part of Wyoming’s growing dude ranch tradition. Today, the historic ranch operates within Grand Teton National Park and remains family-run, carrying generations of Western hospitality into the present day.

Visitors can saddle up for horseback rides beneath the Tetons, fish, hike, enjoy ranch-style meals, and settle into rustic cabins surrounded by some of Wyoming’s most spectacular scenery. It’s a chance to experience the landscape, traditions, and history that have drawn travelers to Wyoming for generations.

Want to spend your vacation with a little Wyoming history? Head to the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains and saddle up at Eatons' Ranch, widely recognized as the first dude ranch in the United States!

The Eaton brothers began welcoming paying guests to their ranching operation in the late 1800s, offering Eastern visitors a chance to experience life in the West. In 1904, the family relocated to their present ranch near Wolf, Wyoming, where generations of guests have come to ride horses, explore the open range, and experience the traditions of Western ranch life.

More than a century later, Eatons’ Ranch is still welcoming visitors. With miles of trails, historic cabins, horseback riding, fishing, and plenty of wide-open Wyoming landscape, you can spend your vacation enjoying a piece of living history and discover why the dude ranch became a Wyoming tradition.

Check out the incredible work our friends at HistoriCorps have been working on this summer here in Wyoming!

~ Moments from the field ~

We just finished our time at Gillespie Place just east of the Wind River Range in Wyoming and our momentum is feeling palpable. Four weeks, 25 volunteers, and a teeter totter later and we've completed the roof, log repairs, along with chinking and daubing of the entire cabin.

If only Sarah F. Gillespie could see the finishing touches herself!

Our season continues with the next stop for our Four Corners circuit landing back at Section House above Breckenridge, Colorado. Great job team and we cannot wait to share more photos from our time at Gillespie Place!
