The Nelson Museum of the West in Cheyenne, Wyoming, offers visitors a captivating journey back in time to the old west through its extensive collection of over 14,000 artifacts. Founded by Robert L.

With permanent exhibits such as the United States Cavalry, Burt Procter's studio, and displays on Wyoming Cattle Baron life, the museum's 11,000 square feet of space immerses guests in the rich heritage of the Western frontier.
