Cheyenne owes its existence to the Union Pacific, so it's not surprising that one of the city's landmarks is the former UP depot. Attached to the depot itself is a small museum named -- again, no surprise -- the Depot Museum.

Inside the museum you'll find numerous photographs and exhibits explaining the railroad's history. Upstairs is a potpourri of fascinating items, including these reminders that at one point, Cheyenne had the only opera house west of the Mississippi. 

If you're ever in Cheyenne, I highly recommend a visit to the depot and its museum.
