Yes, I have been here for a week during the Cheyenne Frontier Days. The town is chock-full of history, and I barely scratched the surface of all the great attractions that can be explored during my first visit. After all, it was Cheyenne Frontier Days week and packed to the gills with visitors attending the Rodeos and other events going on at Frontier Park and other locations in and around town. Most of the museums and places of note were too crowded to horn my way in. I will leave those for an off-season visit. I did find some things you can check out anytime, and street entertainment is available during the summer season.
The Union Pacific Railroad is a huge part of Cheyenne's history and there are two of the "Big Boy" steam locomotives in town, one actually travels and the other is on display in a city park for all to enjoy.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, is the home of the Cheyenne Gunslingers. See gunfights, western skits, and other Wild West activities in Gunslinger Square, 15th & Pioneer, in downtown Cheyenne. All of the shows are family-oriented, and you'll have a lot of excitement and laughs. Every performance begins with a safety demonstration. The gunslingers perform from June through July with two daily performances during the Cheyenne Frontier Days.

The gunslingers also perform melodrama skits that can vary from show to show.
One of the Gunslingers picked out a couple of tourists from the audience for special treatment of Old West hospitality at the end of the show.
You can always see my latest videos on YouTube Dusty Reins Stories , and Rumble American Heartlands.
