Back Story: In 2025, Wyoming Public Media invited Wyomingites to get out and take photos of Wyoming’s beautiful scenery, people, and history. The top choices will be displayed as part of a traveling exhibit. Following the Lander Pioneer Museum’s exhibit throughout the month of April, the display will travel around the state and conclude in Laramie for the month of December. Each exhibit will have an opening reception featuring a guest speaker, sharing the history of that area.
