The 7 wonders of Casper are truly “wonders” of our city. The 7 wonders are originally named after the 7 wonders of the world. No one knows who came up with these 7 wonders but we do know that the 7 wonders have increased over time and become the 8 wonders.

Echo Chamber

Behind the Natrona County Library sits the Echo Chamber. Some people call this the center of the world.
