Wyoming Historic Governor's Mansion: Tinsel Through Time

Today, Noelle, Sierra and I made the drive down to Cheyenne for some Christmas festivities. Our first stop: the Tinsel Through Time exhibit at the Historic Governor's Mansion. 


The building was the official Wyoming governor's residence from 1905 through 1976. Rooms inside the building are furnished in the typical style of different eras of residence and decorated for Christmas in the same styles. 

Our first stop was the Library. It was decorated in a style consistent with the earliest years of residence, featuring a tree illuminated with candles.


Next, we passed through the dining room. Decorated like a typical 1950s/1960s Christmas.



From the dining room, we passed through the Breakfast Roon and through the staff dining room into the Governor's Den and the Drawing Room. 



We explored the upstairs rooms, along with the rooms in the basement. My favorite items in the basement were a Wyoming Tree, decorated with the state flag 


and the canisters left over from the Cold War Era. 


After our visit to the Historic Governor's Mansion, we made our way over to Freedom's Edge Brewery for a beer and some wings from the Weitzel's Wings truck parked just outside.
