Edward and Jane Ivinson arrived in Laramie, Wyoming, in 1868 and are considered some of the city’s earliest entrepreneurs. Mr. Ivinson played a key role in the city’s development through his banking career and philanthropy work. In 1892, they built a mansion which is used today as the Laramie Plains Museum to tell the story of the city’s growth and their contributions. Kim Viner, docent and author of Rediscovering the Ivinsons, shared the story and recounted the early growth of the city.
