Wednesday in Wyoming - August 19, 2026

 

bicentennial gown
My favorite of the State Museum's bicentennial exhibits was this one -- a red, white and blue gown. 

I could picture myself wearing it. Can you?

Wednesday in Wyoming -- August 12, 2026

 

bicentennial artifacts, Wyoming State Museeum
In addition to the bicentennial quilt I showed you last week, the State Museum has other exhibits related to Wyoming's celebration of the country's 200th birthday, including this one.

Although I couldn't decide which quilt square was my favorite, I had no trouble choosing the circular "American Revolution Bicentennial" plaque in the center as my favorite part of this exhibit. I suspect it was the organizers' favorite too, and that's why they placed it where they did.

Wednesday in Wyoming - August 5, 2026

 

Bicentennial quilt, Wyoming state Museum
While the country celebrated our semiquincentennial -- and Wyoming definitely did that -- the State Museum also remembered how we celebrated the bicentennial.

I couldn't decide which square on the bicentennial quilt was my favorite. Would it be the Liberty Bell or the state's flag with the bison or maybe the drum? so many choices!

Which would you pick?
