For this week’s What’s It Wednesday, we are featuring our presidential cabinet display! While no president has come from Wyoming, we have hosted many over the years. Whether it’s for a vacation, a campaign stop, or just a stop through, U.S. presidents love to visit Wyoming. Some notable visits featured in our display are Theodore Roosevelt’s iconic horse ride from Laramie to Cheyenne and President Taft meeting with local school Children! You can learn more about presidential visits through the museum’s display currently housed on the second floor!

This week we hosted our final tea Tuesday of the summer, featuring historian Kylie McCormick, who shared the remarkable history of innovation in Wyoming. Guests were also able to learn more about the lasting contributions of the Ivinsons in Laramie, as well as some uniquely innovative pieces featured in the mansion.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us this tea season, and we hope to see you soon at the Evening at the Ivinsons!☕️😊

For this week’s What’s It Wednesday, we are featuring our telegraph! Our telegraph is based on a 1940s design and, as shown in the video, connects directly to our office to showcase what it's like to use! This technology revolutionized long-distance communication, becoming the primary means of transference for over 100 years. Fun fact: the first message sent by telegraph, "What hath God wrought?" was sent between Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD on May 24, 1844.

For this week’s What’s It Wednesday, we are featuring our crystal punch bowl! Galusha Grow, who was married to the Ivinsons’ daughter Maggie, received this bowl as a gift from his banking associates. Experts say this bowl is one of seven in the world, making it a very valuable piece of our collection! Today, this unique piece is displayed in the mansion for visitors to admire.

For this week’s What’s It Wednesday, we are featuring our beautiful oyster plates! The plates were purchased in the 1890s during one of Jane and Edward’s trips to Europe. As one of the mansion’s signature pieces, these plates represent a key era, the Victorian era, as they had fallen out of fashion by the turn of the century. Fun fact: the Ivinsons had oysters nearly every Friday night, shipped fresh from California via train!
