�We invite you to visit our museums as we have updated our historical displays. Also, the recent contributions of the Swing Set located at the Roll One Room School by
Windle Turley.

A little history on the Swing Set. It was originally located at the Liberty Center School for a period of time, then moved to the Crawford School. After the Crawford School closed it was acquired by Windle Turley and relocated to the Turley Ranch, until his donation of the set in 2026. The Swing Set has been a great addition to the Roll One Room School and as a historical artifact for the Cheyenne City Museums in the Park.

For more information, contact us at 580-497-3882. Updates will be available in the Cheyenne Star and on our page under search – Historic Roger Mills Preservation and Development Foundation or email us at [email protected] We thank you for your support.

Please share and join us for Pioneer Day this Saturday, September 12th at The Cheyenne City Park at 10am.

If you have seen the flyer about the Homes, Heritage and Horsepower Tour you may have wondered if the donations would be accepted for sunglasses and the tour were at the “Slief House” - where exactly is the Slief House? Find us on the northeast side of the Cheyenne City Park between the Pioneer and Veterans Museums. You can’t miss the big sign in front that says “Slief House” and on Pioneer Day there will also be a sign with the CEF bear logo. We’ve uncovered some interesting stories about each of the places on the tour-including how the Slief house got its name and how it ended up in the park. We’re looking forward to sharing the stories with you!
