The Town

Downtown SheridanPicturesque.  Historic. Vibrant.  It’s where Old West meets New West – a pocket of world-class culture wrapped up in hometown hospitality and authentic real West charm . . .

Sheridan provides history with a view, from its authentic Main Street lined with historic buildings to the Landmark Historic Sheridan Inn where Buffalo Bill once auditioned acts, to the magnificent backdrop of the Bighorn Mountains. The Historic Main Street District offers Old West appeal in a modern setting for a charming window on the past and future.  It is picture perfect, with specialty shopping from antiques to cowboy memorabilia to intriguing boutiques and galleries.

Home to over 30 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, the downtown comes alive with its unique specialty shops, and delightful historic trolley or walking tours. Embrace our Western town while exploring a mansion and museums, or relax in Kendrick Park where the buffalo and elk roam.  Enjoy lively entertainment with weekly rodeos and polo, theater performances or a stop at the legendary Mint Bar.  And if in need, just ask . . .  and then embrace the warm, western hospitality.Downtown Sheridan Statue
