Rotary Century 1700s Plaza
The 1700 plaza includes a native plant collection where you can find a
number of native (High Plains) plants in bloom most of the spring, summer
and fall. You will also find a collection of native grasses (including the
Legacy Buffalo grass) along with many notable shrubs. Included in this you
will find the Wyoming State Flower, the Indian Paint Brush.
Here you will
find benches with inlaid sculptures depicting the life of the Native
Americans that passed through this territory. You will also find interesting
quotes describing the landscape of the 1700s and important people plant
relationships.
