Morbid Sightseeing!

January 17th, 2010

Anne writes to make sure that if we ever find ourselves in Laramie, Wyoming (and are able to free ourselves from the fence post), we know where to go:

“If you ever have the misfortune to find yourself in Laramie Wyoming there is a neat old Territorial prison that is open to the public. Not horribly morbid, but interesting.”

Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site

The Territorial Prison is the best preserved of the prisons of the old west. Built in 1872 it was restored and renovated by the efforts of the citizens of Laramie. There were at least 12 woman housed here and more than 1,000 men, the most famous of which was Butch Cassidy.Opening Hours between May 1 and October 31 (including holidays):
Everyday, 9 AM to 6 PM

    Does it say something wrong about me that I thought about the fence post before I read what you wrote?
