About Burns

Burns is a quiet town of about 350 people, sitting twenty-five miles east of Cheyenne on the open plains of southeastern Wyoming. It has a relaxed rural feel, surrounded by cattle ranches and wheat fields that stretch out under big western skies. The community is friendly and down-to-earth, making it a great fit for anyone who values open space, quiet streets, and a slower daily pace.

Kids can attend both Burns Elementary and Burns Junior-Senior High School right in town, and there is a local library branch and post office for everyday errands. Cheyenne is an easy half-hour drive to the west, so commuting for work, groceries, and medical appointments is simple. For homebuyers wanting acreage, clean air, and starry night skies, Burns offers peaceful country living within reach of the capital city.
