The Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame is a cowboy hall of fame. Established in 2013, the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame exists to enrich Wyoming's cowboy and ranch heritage through various means as it sees fit. Its main purpose in doing this is to recognize individuals in the state who established the first trails and brought this culture here.[1]
The inaugural class of inductees ceremony took place in Douglas, Wyoming, in the year 2014, the year the hall opened its doors. More than 500 people attended the event. Senator Mike Enzi, along with the Board of Directors, performed the induction procedure. "This event was really about celebrating the first class of individuals inducted into the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame,” said Scott Ratliff, president of the Board. “It is about recognizing what cowboys stand for." Individuals inducted into the inaugural class included both living and non-living people. The hall of fame allows the board to recognize cowboys who might not otherwise be remembered. The hall of fame is an organization that took 15 years in the making. And as of yet, it only exists as a virtual museum.[2]
