The Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board has released the 2025 state Christmas tree ornament, the seventh in a series designed by Gary Sims, a member of the Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board.

This year’s design is based on the Wyoming license plate issued from 2000 to 2005 and features Devil’s Tower.

The design also includes references to the year Wyoming became a state, 1890; the number “44” for being the 44th state admitted to the Union; the famous Grizzly Bear 399; and other references to Wyoming’s history.

All proceeds from the sales of these ornaments go to fund various Historic Preservation Board projects throughout the Cheyenne area.

Wyoming began issuing license plates in 1913 and added the bucking horse and rider image in 1936.
