Laramie Plains Museum Mission Statement

The Laramie Plains Museum hosts an extensive collection of artifacts and archives that pertain to the history of Laramie and Albany County. These artifacts lay witness to many different aspects of American history including that of the West, American Victoriana, local ranch history, and immigration. We strive to tell the stories of humanity passed on to us from Laramie pioneers and their descendants. Our goal is to tell the story of all, including those who were well-known, and also those who lived on the outskirts of society, whose voices are integral to our past.

Our Property

The Laramie Plains Museum Complex is located on an entire city block directly located in the heart of Laramie, Wyoming.
