Wyoming State Museum to host annual "Halloween at the Museum" event October 27

wsmLogo

Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 27, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. for "Halloween at the Museum."

This free, educational event hosted by the Wyoming State Museum invites families to experience the fun of trick-or-treating while diving into the rich history of Wyoming.

Every year, more than a thousand community members gather to enjoy this unique event where history comes alive. The museum’s dedicated volunteers will fill the galleries, dressed as fascinating figures from local history, allowing guests to journey back to the days of the Oregon Trail, the Mountain Man fur trade, and the golden age of the circus.

Participants will have the chance to explore the State Museum’s world-class exhibits, interact with historic characters, view military vehicles, meet military members, and get up close to artifacts from Wyoming’s past. This is a fantastic opportunity to make trick-or-treating an educational experience that kids will cherish for years to come.

Each child who attends will receive a bag of trick-or-treat candy, generously provided by Smile Doctors of Cheyenne. This event is made possible thanks to the support of our wonderful community partners, including TSgt Stalter and the tactical response force section at FE Warren, local Girl Scout troops, and over 20 dedicated volunteers.

Join us for an unforgettable day of history, education, and Halloween fun at the Wyoming State Museum!
