I’m watching all your historical documentaries and I’m fascinated by your State. I do love my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee but visiting your beautiful State is priority on my bucket list. Just watched your documentary on the blizzard of 1949 and have sent it to everyone I know to watch. It is inspirational

Wyoming is such a diverse state! Absolutely stunning from east to west, north to south! The people are real true blue Americans, tuff as wang and stubborn as an old mule!

Dad was born and raised in Wyoming. Beautiful state. Been there many times.

A little chilly up there for these old bones, but these videos have made me decide I need to come back again for a visit. In the summer.

I am appreciative to see many new and well built municipal buildings and well designed streets that were paid by the taxpayers of Thermopolis, well done!

Where is the swinging bridge in thermop? I live here and have never seen it (I live in Powell actually) but I drive thru there all the time.

It's inside Hot Springs State Park

I feel like Chief Washakie would have found the use of commercial water parks on the place he wanted to be free for everyone unacceptable.

[@chuckwlodarczyk9961]

Great program like to see the history of Casper Wyo some time as well as Chugwater and Cheyenne

[@WyomingPBS]

Here's a brief look at how "Chugwater" got its name. ruclips.net/video/bVKEs1YSD08/видео.html

Apparently wyoming looks like Arizona where we have multiple hills with writing on them

[@wellsonwheels457]

Where is the gentleman talking from? Looks like an old west bar! ❤️

[@donnakeeley7924]

That's pretty much what the bars look like in Wyoming. Antiques, most of them. Beautiful back bars.
