Wyoming State Capitol

Cheyenne WY – August 2021

This is the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne. Wyoming was ahead of the rest of the USA regarding women’s rights. Wyoming passed laws giving women the right to vote and hold office 50 years before the 19th amendment to the US Constitution giving these rights to women nationwide.

In this historic room the Wyoming Constitution was debated and ratified.
The Wyoming Capitol used wood for its banisters which creates a warm look. Also, the black and white checkerboard tile design is eye-catching.
The architect who designed the capitol purposely turned one of the balusters upside down, because he said that only God is perfect! Amen!
In many of the black tiles there are fossils.
