Wyoming[edit | edit source]
Wyoming had no state building; its appropriation of $25,000 was devoted entirely to exhibits in the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and Agriculture.
Wyoming was one of the few states to have its exhibit practically complete upon the opening day and thus was dedicated on April, 30, 1904, though Wyoming Day was celebrated on July 11th with a military parade and other ceremonies, finishing with a reception at the Inside Inn.
One person in every fifty residents that lived in Wyoming saw the World's Fair.
