Laramie was once a lawless frontier town known for rowdy saloons and vigilante justice. Laramie still contains the Wyoming Territorial Prison, which held some of the most violent outlaws in the West, including the infamous Butch Cassidy. Historic preservation and modern delights converge in Laramie’s quaint downtown, where historic buildings contain breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, stores, and wall murals.

Now, Laramie is known as a small college town, home to the University of Wyoming, Wyoming Technical Institute, and a branch of Laramie County Community College. The schools contribute a variety of museums, sporting events, theatrical performances and more to the local community. Laramie’s close-knit community comes together for numerous events, including the annual Jubilee Days, a week-long celebration of Wyoming’s statehood.
