Buffalo Bill Days is a big event in
The town celebrates its historic western
history with a variety of events. Including
Saturday morning's breakfast at the Big
Horn Merc, a Pony Express ride, followed by the
authentic Old West Parade. Don't miss the
birthday celebration of the Historic Sheridan
Inn and the Chuck wagon BBQ on the lawn.
While this will make the town much more crowded
there is also a lot to do and see.
2.)The Sheridan Inn
Visit the historic Sheridan Inn. The building was
frequented by many old western icons such as
Buffalo Bill Cody. There is even a resident ghost
named Miss Kate.
3.)The Mint Bar
The most famous bar in town, this cowboy bar
served its first beer in 1907... and has not changed
much since! Whether you drink or not stop by
during the day to see the old photographs, historic
knotty pine bar, and maybe even Grandma Charlee
Bergstrom tending bar!
4.)King Ropes and Saddlery and Museum
This store includes a western museum of old
saddles, sidearms, and art in the museum behind
the store. The rope factory is open to the public.
See where the bull riders get their gear and maybe
practice throwing a lasso while you are there.
The King Ropes store is worth seeing for the
high end tack and gifts. Their fine art gallery
highly regarded the western art world.
5.)The Mountains
The Big Horns are an offshoot of the Rocky
Mountain chain. They are pleasantly less
impacted by tourists and therefore offer a very
nice drive with places you can get out and stretch
your legs, go hiking, fishing, or just take in the views.
Ask any local to point you in the right direction. Bring some food for the ride.
