Laramie Plains Museum Closed for Season; Tours Resume March 3, 2026

The Laramie Plains Museum, housed in the restored Ivinson Mansion at 603 East Ivinson Avenue, is closed for its annual seasonal pause after the Holiday Open House and is scheduled to resume tours on March 3, 2026, a local museum advertisement states: “We will Begin Tours Again on March 3, 2026.”

When tours resume the museum’s official hours will be 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with the last tour of each day beginning at 3:00 p.m., the museum’s seasonal information says: “Tours of Laramie's History, set in the restored, historic mansion are offered. 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday Last tour of each touring day will begin at 3:00.” Visitors are directed to buy admission in the Carriage House Gift Shop, which the museum lists as open 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.: “The Carriage House Gift Shop is open 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Come to the Carriage House Gift Shop to purchase tickets.” The museum also notes that tour groups are intentionally small, with capacity of “4-7 people.”

Admission prices listed on the museum site are Adults $10, Students $5, Military (past & current) $5, Family $25, and Seniors $7. The Visit Laramie tourism page includes the same base rates and additionally lists an Adult AAA rate of $8 and states that children under 6 are free, and it suggests visitors “Plan on about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.” The tourism page does show a differing guided tour window of 11:00 to 4:00 Tuesday through Saturday; the museum’s official site and the museum’s Instagram post align on a 1:00 to 4:00 schedule, with the Instagram message reading, “We are open! Please join us Tuesday-Saturday between the hours of 1-4pm for a tour of the Ivinson Mansion! The last tour will begin at 3pm.”

While the museum office is closed during the seasonal pause, staff remain reachable by appointment, the museum states: “While the museum office is not open during this time, we are available by appointment.” Contact details on the museum’s site list phone (307) 742-4448 and email lpmdirector@laramiemuseum.org. The museum’s staff roster includes Amy Allen, Interim Executive Director; Konnie Cronk, Curator; Vince Wilson, Registrar; Michelle Gonzales, Rentals Coordinator; and Helen Pugsley, Administrative Assistant, among others, and the board lists Tanner Evans as President and Brie Blasi as Vice-President.

Community-facing ads for the museum in local Marketplace listings advertise event rentals with “Now Booking for Specials Events!” and reiterate the March 3 reopening and the museum’s address and phone number. The Ivinson Mansion property offers more than indoor exhibits: Visit Laramie notes “beautiful grounds,” a line cabin furnished as a 19th-century schoolhouse, and the carriage house converted to a museum store, while nearby Heritage Park, the Greenbelt trail along the Big Laramie River, and the Laramie Railroad Depot and Museum are highlighted as companion stops for out-of-town visitors and local families planning a longer outing.

As the museum prepares to welcome visitors back on March 3, 2026, staff emphasize ticket purchases at the Carriage House and the small-group tour format; the museum’s phone at (307) 742-4448 and email lpmdirector@laramiemuseum.org are listed for appointments and rental inquiries handled by Rentals Coordinator Michelle Gonzales.
