First United Methodist Church (Cheyenne, Wyoming)

The church building at 18th and Central was constructed in 1890 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

The Reverend W. W. Baldwin, a circuit rider from Colorado, led the first Methodist church services in Cheyenne on September 29, 1867 in City Hall.

In 1874 Black members withdrew from the congregation and built an African Methodist Episcopal Church four blocks west.
