Become a part of the Legend by supporting a Cheyenne Institution that’s rooted in the “Daddy of ‘Em All,” Cheyenne Frontier Days™. We provide the story of our western legacy to over 15,000 guests a year.
Founded in 1978 by a dedicated group of Cheyenne Frontier Days™ volunteers and community members, the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ Old West Museum is a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization tasked with cultivating a rich educational space for the diverse, international community served by, and rooted in the American western legacy of Cheyenne Frontier Days™.
Our mission is made possible through donors like you, and without you, we wouldn’t be able to preserve our artifacts, keep our lights on, or hold our annual events.
We take pride in our institution, and our Museum partners make a difference every single day.
Create meaningful partnerships while you support:
Our Collections and Exhibits, which draw locals and tourists alike to our institution.
Our Western Art Shows, which showcase local, national, and international Western Artists twice a year!
And our Arts & Educational Programs, which create learning environments for all ages, whether it’s art classes, lectures, or children’s summer camps!
Our unique collection of items includes Western history from Cheyenne Frontier Days™ and beyond! We hold collections that range from photographs to parade costumes, saddles to artwork.
