About Laramie Plains Museum

The Laramie Plains Museum occupies the Ivinson Mansion, a late nineteenth-century house in Laramie. Visitors can see Victorian interiors, historic textiles and clothing, and objects tied to early Laramie and ranching life. Guided tours move through the house in small groups, and the museum also tells the story of the town's growth from a railroad tent settlement. The building is also rented for weddings, parties, and other events.
