Guide to Meeteetse, WY pt 1: Overview

Meeteetse, Wyoming, a small town of about 330 people,  is 5 hours and 14 minutes (not counting construction delays or stops for photo opportunities in other towns on the route) north of Cheyenne, Wyoming. There are three routes to get here – via I25 N, I25 N and 20W, and I-80 W and 20-W.

The name Meeteetse comes from a Native American word meaning “meeting place.”

It is perhaps most well known for its connection to Amelia Earhart. The pilot and her husband, George Putnam, visited the region in 1934 and liked it so much that she bought land there and ordered a cabin to be built. However, only the foundation was laid before 1937, when she disappeared in her attempt to fly around the world.

Those foundations are still there, and once a year the Meeteese Museum leads a tour to the Kirwin mine (once owned by Carl Dunrud) and the Earhart cabin.
