CHEYENNE, Wyo. – April 24, 2026 – The Wyoming Monuments and Markers Program preserves and interprets significant historic places, people, and events through a statewide system of monuments and roadside markers. The program highlights Wyoming’s diverse heritage, from Indigenous history and historic trails to community development and notable individuals, helping residents and visitors connect with the stories that shaped the state’s landscape.

A major focus of the program today is expanding public access through digital tools. The recently refreshed interactive Monuments and Markers Map modernizes how users explore Wyoming history by providing updated locations and improved usability. The map revamp strengthens heritage tourism, educational outreach, and public engagement, allowing users to discover historic sites across Wyoming anytime, anywhere. View the interactive map at Bit.ly/WyoMM. 

The program operates through collaboration with key partners, including Wyoming State Parks and the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office, both part of the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, and the Wyoming Department of Transportation, the Wyoming Office of Tourism, local governments, tribal nations, historical societies, tourism organizations, and community volunteers. These partnerships support research, installation, and long-term stewardship of monuments and markers while ensuring historical interpretation remains accurate, accessible, and representative of Wyoming’s shared history.
