TRANSCRIPT
The Story Behind the Boots
“These Boots are made for Talking” was a joint project
of the Cheyenne Depot Museum Foundation and the
Downtown Development Authority. The boots were
sponsored by local businesses and auctioned at a
fundraiser. The nearly $100,000 raised went to the
Cheyenne Depot Museum Endowment Fund to benefit
the museum.
Each boot was painted by one or more of the area’s
creative and talented artists. The theme of the project for
the artists was “If this boot could talk, what story would
it tell?” The audio tour provides the opportunity to hear
just that from each artist: 307-316-0067.
“These Boots” remain a destination point for visitors
and area residents alike.
