The Historic Sheridan Inn

On June 22, 1893, the Historic Sheridan Inn opened its doors for the first time. The inn is located at Fifth and Broadway in Sheridan, Wyoming. It was the first building to have electricity in the town, as well as steam heat, a telephone, and running water. It is possible to tour the inn. The exhibits on display include such things as artifacts from Buffalo Bill, Calamity Jane, Ernest Hemmingway, President Hoover, William Taft, Will Rogers, and Teddy Roosevelt.

The Sheridan Heritage Center runs the inn for tours each year. The only time of year they do not allow tours is from December 25th to January 1st, closing for the holiday. The tour takes at least 1 hour and longer depending on what questions are asked. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 10am to 2pm. A guided tour is $5 for adults, $3 for children, and $10 for a family. It is important to call the Historic Sheridan Inn to confirm they are open and offering tours. Sometimes school tours or other group tours can close the inn for a short time. Reservations are also helpful. On site is the Grille and Spirits for lunch.
