Join us as we celebrate the Year of The Cowgirl!
We’re highlighting the spirit and strength of Western women throughout history.
Their stories shape ours as we follow in their footsteps, both in the arena and out in the world.
A celebration of the spirit of the Wyoming cowgirl – a spirit embodied by women who are strong, confident and resilient. A cowgirl shines through women from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for the Western way of life.
The women whose stories you’re about to hear are more than celebrated names from Wyoming’s history; they’re women whose strength, confidence, and resilience exemplify the spirit of the Wyoming cowgirl.
Between 1930 and 1960, Cheyenne (and Frontier Park) played host to a wide array of women breaking barriers left and right—and it’s their stories we celebrate today.
Welcome to the era of the cowgirl:
A ground-breaking time in Western history that saw women stepping boldly into the world of rodeo… and never looking back.
The women we've met aren’t always the typical “cowgirl” you’d expect… and yet, each represents her own brand of cowgirl authentically, unapologetically, unequivocally.
On July 28, we kicked off Year of the Cowgirl when we unveiled a new bronze
on Frontier Park highlighting the spirit and strength of Western women throughout history.
