Torrington Wyoming Tourism

Over the hills and through the plains they came by the thousands in wagons, on foot and following the Oregon Trail from Nebraska westward. The first stop in what was the beginning of Wyoming was Fort Laramie, on the North Platte River. This historic town was at that time a trading post.

Torrington’s countryside is a rolling green belt of farmland stretched along the mighty North Platte River, which provides Torrington with all the natural resources necessary for farming.

You’ll find all kinds of travel accommodations and many fun things to see and do in this bird hunter’s paradise. Among the many favorite activities are golfing, roping and bull riding events or a relaxing stroll through the Homesteaders Museum, which is housed in the old Union Pacific Depot, and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You can follow the old “trail” ruts left by those early travelers following their dreams one half mile south of Guernsey off U.S. Highway 26.
