History
Approximately one-ninth of the population of Wyoming (or 68,000 people) claim membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Pioneers famously traveled across the state in their westward migration to Utah, primarily from the 1840s to the 1860s.[1]”At the October 2021 General Conference, the Prophet Says the Church Will Build 13 More Temples,” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints News Release, 3 Oct. 2021.
Cody is home to the Historic Cody Mural and Museum—a meetinghouse of the Church that features a large domed ceiling with a rich-colored mural depicting scenes from Church history including the Restoration and the westward expansion of the pioneers. The chapel and visitors’ center are open to the public during the summer months.
