Tips from locals
The original State penitentiary built in the late 1800s and used until 1981. See why they only had a 33% recidivism rate. Take a sweater it could be pretty cool inside.
Tina and her staff put on a great in depth tour! You'll love walking the grounds and you can even sit in the gas chamber! It is cash only, $7 per person.
This is a great place to stop and soak up some Wyoming state history. There is also a nice little walking path right next to the building, if you want to stretch your legs.
