The Conservatory at the Plains

Community History
Conservatory at the Plains has a rich historical culture of the Cheyenne tribe in the early 1800's. The tipi holding replicas proudly represents this occupation, backed up with archaeological studies. Following the Cheyenne, the area was occupied by pioneer settlers.  The “soddies” are replicas of pioneer housing that used sod as a building material. Much like adobe, they are cooler into summer and warmer in the winter, benefiting from the natural insulating qualities of the lifestyle of the plains. Whether the lodging was tipis or soddies, farming with animals such as cattle, horses, and buffalo was a daily practice and routine for Native Americans and Pioneers.
