Laramie Plains Museum

The Laramie Plains Museum, housed in the historic Ivinson Mansion built in 1892, offers visitors a glimpse into Victorian architecture and the rich history of Laramie, Wyoming. Originally constructed by Edward and Jane Ivinson, the mansion features intricate woodwork and unique architectural details, including a striking stone and wood-frame design. After serving as a boarding school for the Episcopal Church until 1958, the mansion was transformed into a museum in 1972. Tourists and researchers can explore its 11,726 square feet of living space, including the beautifully preserved carriage house and the surrounding grounds, while learning about the Ivinsons' significant contributions to the local community and the development of Laramie.
