Wyoming’s Historic Hotels Are A Must-Visit For History Lovers
If you were planning a trip around Wyoming to see historic places, what type of places would they be?
Hot Springs?
Restaurants?
Ranches?
Rodeos?
Festivals?
Those are all legitimate options, but what about historic hotels?
Now, that option is appealing to me, not only for the cool vibe that many of them put off but also for the chance to catch a glimpse of a ghostly figure possibly or hear a story about one of the many historical characters that frequented the establishment.
Not only were the late 1800s and early 1900s important in Wyoming's history, but also when many of the state's historic hotels were built. Quite a few of those hotels are still in operation and look similar to how they did when they were newly opened.
Many of the most famous historic Wyoming hotels are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Suppose you're a history buff and geek out that you could stay at the same hotel as former U.S. Presidents, Wild West legends, celebrities, famous authors, or Wyoming heroes. In that case, you need to take a trip to visit around the state and check into these hotels.
Some famous names to have frequented Wyoming are:
- President Theodore Roosevelt
- Author Ernest Hemingway
- Aviator Amelia Earhart
- Actor John Wayne
- Outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- Buffalo Bill Cody
- Wild West Legend Calamity Jane
- Late Actor Christopher Reeve
Those are just a few names with ties to staying in Wyoming.
Let us know how many of these historic hotels you've been to.
