The Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site in Laramie, Wyoming, is a fascinating historical landmark that offers a glimpse into the state's past. Originally constructed in 1872, this prison housed some of the most notorious outlaws of the Old West, including the infamous Butch Cassidy. Today, visitors can explore the restored prison facilities, including the cellblocks, warden's office, and the broom factory where inmates worked. The site also features exhibits detailing the history of the prison and the broader context of law enforcement and criminal justice in the Wyoming Territory.
