Happy birthday, Lloyd Baker. Born May 17, 1911, the oldest man in the Cowboy State is still going strong at 107. Here are a few lessons we can learn from his remarkable life.
Jim Baker came west in 1818 for a life of danger, adventure, and romance. He was the first settler in this area and both Wyoming and Colorado claim him.

If you've ever had a Rice Krispies treat, you can thank a guy from the tiny town Arminto, Wyoming. On May 14, 1918, Hazime Fukuda received a patent for the first rice cereal. His method was later adapted by Kellogg's and has since spawned dozens of popular products.
Since 1929, The Lincoln Theater has had a history of changes with its next phase moving it forward, into the past, by returning it to being a music venue again.
Building owners will have an exciting announcement about the future of the Lincoln. The building will not be torn down – it will be a great asset for Cheyenne.
Before moving to Big Horn in the late 1800s, Oliver Henry Wallop was the Earl of Portsmouth. He later became the only man to serve in both Britain's House of Lords and Wyoming's House of Representatives.
Over a century before Marian Orr became Cheyenne's first female mayor, another Wyoming woman made history. 107 years ago today, on May 9, 1911, Susan Wissler was elected as the Mayor of Dayton.
