Uncover Wyoming History in Casper
Museums
With 11 museums, there’s no lack of history to explore in Casper. For an overview of the entire area, start your visit at the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. Or opt for a more artistic approach to the city by soaking up some of the world’s greatest artists at the Nicolaysen Art Museum including pieces from Picasso, Charles Russell and more. See Dee, Casper’s own Columbian wooly mammoth, at the Tate Geological Museum and learn about the dinosaurs that once roamed Wyoming.
Additional museums to explore include Fort Caspar, the Werner Wildlife Museum, Bishop House, Casper Planetarium, Salt Creek Museum, The Science Zone, Veterans Memorial Museum and the War Birds Museum.
An added bonus: all of Casper’s museums are kid-friendly.
