Fifteenth Annual Egg Hunt at the Wyoming Historic Governors’ Mansion

 

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – April 11, 2025 – Wyoming State Parks is excited to invite families to the Fifteenth Annual Egg Hunt at the Wyoming Historic Governors’ Mansion, a cherished community tradition. The event will occur on Saturday, April 19, at 9 a.m. sharp. This free event is designed for little ones aged 2 to 4, providing a delightful morning filled with excitement and discovery.

 

This year, more than 1,500 colorful eggs will be hidden throughout the beautiful lawns of the Mansion. Each egg will contain treats and a fun fact related to the Mansion or the rich history of Wyoming. This educational twist adds an engaging element to the hunt, encouraging curiosity about local heritage.

 

"We are thrilled to host this beloved event once again," said Alexis Pratt, superintendent of the Mansion. "It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, enjoy the beauty of the Mansion grounds, and connect with Wyoming’s history in a fun way."

 

Mansion staff encourage all guests to arrive early to secure their spot, as the eggs tend to vanish quickly. The festivities will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m., marking the official start of the egg hunt.

 

Attendees should bring baskets to collect eggs and prepare for the unpredictable spring weather in Wyoming. To ensure a pleasant experience, attendees should dress in layers, wear comfortable shoes, and bring a light jacket.

 

For more information and/or questions, please contact the Mansion staff at 307-777-7878 or find them on Facebook at @HistoricGovernorsMansion. You can also learn more about upcoming events and programs at Wyoming State Parks by visiting wyoparks.wyo.gov

About - Historic Governors’ Mansion

Description:

Wyoming takes pride in the first residence provided for governors and their families. The home has been the setting for state dinners, first-family christenings, wedding receptions and birthday parties.


History:

 

From 1905 to 1976, the Mansion was the residence of 19 Wyoming first families. Governors, First Ladies, their children and pets lived and entertained in the home over the course of 71 years. From the first First Family to live in the house with their five children, to the nation’s First Female Governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross, the home has been host to family dinners, formal state events and dignitaries from around the country. In October 1976, Governor Ed Herschler moved from what is now called the Historic Governors’ Mansion to the new Governor’s Residence located near Frontier Park. In July 1977, the mansion opened to the public as a historic house museum, embracing the lives and stories of the many people who visited and resided in the home. To the residents of Wyoming, the Historic Governors’ Mansion is truly the People’s House.
