Grand Parade

 

Our carriage collection paints a very rare picture of what Cheyenne looked like over 150 years ago.

·     PRO TIPS: Get to the parade early to interview folks participating in the parade. They are staged in the streets behind and to the east of the Capitol Building. Do not stand in the street without the permission of parade volunteers.

·     VOLUNTEERS: Hundreds of volunteers ride in historic CFD carriages wearing costumes. A group of volunteers called W-Heels, stage the carriages and maintain the over 1,500 costumes in the collection. Wagon Doctors are volunteers who repair and restore the many carriages in the parades.

·     CARRIAGES: CFD has one of the largest collections of working carriages in the nation. CFD parades started back in 1925. Soon after people started donating their carriages to CFD. Many are used in the parade and are on display at the Old West Museum.
