Welcome to Sheridan County An introduction to the area’s people, places and events

Hit ‘Em Far and Straight The club scene in Sheridan includes three excellent golf courses – two public and one private, and one of the public courses is 27 holes. Kendrick Golf Course is an 18-hole municipal course that spans 6,677 yards and plays as a par 72. The Powder Horn Golf Club is 27 holes and features three separate nine-hole public venues, named the Mountain, Stag and Eagle courses. Sheridan Country Club is an eighteen-hole private course that opened in 1920, making it one of the oldest clubs in Wyoming.

The West at Its Best Downtown Sheridan has beautiful buildings along Main Street, with many of them on the National Register of Historic Places.

Some of the more extravagant are Sheridan County Courthouse, Western Hotel Building, Lotus Building, First Interstate Bank (formerly the Cow Boy Saloon) and the New York Building.

But the downtown district has much more than just nice buildings to view. There are also numerous shopping destinations along Main Street and the surrounding avenues. Some of the unique downtown stores in Sheridan include Accents of Wyoming, Bozeman Trail Gallery, Cottonwood Kitchen Shop, King’s Saddlery, Over the Moon, Something to Kiln, Swing Riders Western Emporium, 45th Parallel, and dozens more.

Almanac

Music to the Ears Sweet sounds pour out of Kendrick Park in the summer. Every Tuesday evening during the warm-weather months this popular green space on Beaver Street hosts Concerts in the Park at its band shell. Different live musical acts perform each week.

Kendrick Park also has a swimming pool, ice cream stand, picnic areas, fishing, a large children’s playground, tennis courts and wide open spaces. Adjacent to the park is a wildlife area that is home to small herds of buffalo and elk.

Ride ‘Em, Cowboys In 1931, a group of local citizens decided to put on a rodeo. Now, more than 80 years later, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo is one of the premier Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association extravaganzas in America.

The Sheridan WYO Rodeo always plays to sellout crowds at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds, and a fourth performance was added in 2010 to accommodate the demand for more action. The big key to its success is financial support from major sponsors, with prize money at the Sheridan rodeo ranking it in the top tier of the more than 600 PRCA events staged in America each year.

Gaining Seniority A senior citizens program began modestly in Sheridan County in 1972. Today, dozens of programs through the Sheridan Senior Center are available for residents age 60 and older.

The center offers activities such as choir, painting, dancing, crafting and exercise classes, and weekly social events that include bingo, dominoes, card games and billiards. The facility on Smith Street also oversees programs such as meal delivery, transportation, in-home care, support services and volunteer opportunities. The slogan at Sheridan Senior Center is “quality of life, later in life.”

Fast Facts n Queen Elizabeth II visited Sheridan County in 1984. She stayed with friends in Big Horn and shopped at King’s Saddlery. n Sheridan County offers many open green spaces, including three golf courses, a comprehensive trail system and two world-class polo fields. n The county is home to three excellent public school systems with a total of 21 schools.

The airport was conceived in 1919 and originally called Aviation Field. Today the facility that sits at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains has the newest runway in all of Wyoming. Besides private aircraft, passengers are served

by Great Lakes Airlines, which offers daily direct flights to Denver aboard 30-passenger jets. Meanwhile, large cargo corporations such as UPS and FedEx also utilize Sheridan County Airport for major pickups and deliveries each day.

n The region’s top-notch medical facilities include Sheridan Memorial Hospital and the Sheridan VA Medical Center. n In the summer, the Sheridan Trolley takes passengers on rides every hour to view the many attractions in Sheridan. Tickets are just $1.

Story By Jessica Mozo

W

hen New York-native Rick Young retired from the Air Force in 1993, he and his wife Roberta considered buying a dude ranch because they love horseback riding. But when the couple saw an ad for Sheridan County’s Bear Lodge Resort in a magazine, they had a change of heart.

“I had been stationed in Cheyenne with the Air Force, and during that time we got into hunting and fishing and fell in love with this beautiful part of the

country,” Young says. “We ate a lot of wild game back then, and we still do.

I love ATV and snowmobile riding, hunting and fishing, and my wife loves all the outdoor activities I do.”

Bear Lodge Resort The Youngs bought the eight-room Bear Lodge Resort in the Bighorn National Forest and increased its capacity to 30 rooms, added an indoor pool and hot tub, and built an addition to the dining room. Today, the mountain lodge is a popular winter

destination for snowmobilers, and offers a rental fleet of 40 Polaris snowmobiles. In the summer, the resort is a destination for weddings, family reunions and weekend getaways.

Visitors love the abundance of wildlife surrounding the lodge – it’s not uncommon to spot a moose or bear wandering around the RV sites. Hunters appreciate it, too.

“Mountain caribou is probably my favorite wild game, followed by elk, moose and white-tailed deer,” Young says. “And this area is a trout

fisherman’s paradise. The majority of fish on the mountain are trout – cutthroat, rainbow, brown and mackinaw.”

Arrowhead Lodge and Elk View Inn The Youngs loved owning Bear Lodge Resort so much, they purchased two more mountain retreats. In 2008, they bought Arrowhead Lodge near the Tongue River, and in 2010, they bought Elk View Inn. All three lodges are allinclusive destinations with gas stations,

gift shops, ATV/snowmobile rentals and restaurants.

“Arrowhead’s dining room is known for great burgers and has a roadhouse atmosphere,” Young says. “Bear Lodge has mountain trout and salmon. And Elk View features elk meat, steak and medallions.”

Like the Youngs, Penny and Mont Becker moved to Sheridan County from Minnesota after being charmed by its beautiful scenery and outdoor and cultural offerings. That was in 1999.

“We stopped here on our way to

the West Coast, and we just fell in love with the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains,” Penny Becker says. “The community was very enticing for its philanthropic philosophy and heritage.

And we love camping and hiking.”

Within six months of their first visit, Mont took a banking job in Sheridan County. Soon after, Penny became executive director of Sheridan Travel & Tourism, where she helps others fully enjoy all the Big Horn Mountains have to offer.

“We love it here,” Becker says. “We

have a favorite campground that’s a real treasure. Last time we went camping, we experienced three moose sightings.

In summer, it’s wonderful to enjoy a peaceful canoe ride in the fresh mountain air.”

Sheridan Trails and Rodeos Hikers and snowmobilers can embark on the Northern Big Horn Mountain Trail System’s 218 miles of trails, while cross-country skiers flock to the Sibley Lake Ski Trails and Cutler Ski Trails.

“We were voted among the Top 200 Towns for Outdoorsmen by Outdoor Life magazine for three consecutive years, and we were listed in the Top 100 Adventure Towns by National Geographic Adventure in 2009 and 2010,” Becker says. “Our rodeos are really big for us, and we have 35 rodeos throughout the summer, from the Elks Youth Rodeo for children up to our biggest event, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo, that draws 20,000 people.”

Hang Gliding and Polo Two of Sheridan County’s most unusual recreation offerings are hang gliding and polo. Polo competitions take place every weekend throughout the summer, and the Big Horn Mountains host a Hang Gliders Fly-In every May and September.

“You can just happen by and see hang gliders preparing to jump off the mountain, or just having jumped off,” Becker says. “I just love it when we get to see that.”

Sheridan County is also home to Kerns Wildlife Habitat Management Area, which provides a crucial winter range for 800 elk. Kerns is also inhabited by wild turkeys, black bears and mountain lions. Nearby Clearmont, Wyoming, is another natural habitat for ospreys, blue herons, yellow warblers, red-winged blackbirds and bald eagles.

Arts scene has always been vibrant in sheridan county

esidents of Sheridan County have always supported the arts, but why?

Ken Schuster, director and chief curator of the Bradford Brinton Memorial & Museum, says Sheridan County has always had a well-to-do, educated population that helps fund the arts.

“Early on, this area was inhabited

by British and Scottish ranchers who brought their long-standing appreciation of the arts from the United Kingdom to Sheridan County,” he says. “Our arts appreciation today is just as healthy as it was back then – maybe even healthier.”

Western Art Galore Schuster oversees the Bradford Brinton Museum – founded in 1961 and named for a J.I. Case plow company

executive who bought a huge ranch in 1923 and began collecting Western art.

Brinton accumulated works by noted artists such as Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, Edward Borein and Elling William Gollings.

“Brinton’s house itself is a crown jewel, with 14 of the 26 rooms open to the public to showcase his artworks,” Schuster says. “Brinton was also a fan of Hans Kleiber, a well-known etcher nicknamed the ‘Artist of the Big Horns.’

A Hans Kleiber Studio Museum exists today in Sheridan County.”

Art and Soul The community’s artistic side can also be found at places like the WYO Theater, which hosts 25 live performances a year. There is also Carriage House Theatre, located at

the Trail End State Historic Site to offer performances staged by Sheridan’s Civic Theatre Guild.

The county is also home to the Jentel Foundation and the Ucross Foundation, both of which provide residential retreats for artists coming into this community from all over the country. Meanwhile, Sheridan Artists’ Guild Et al, or SAGE, promotes visual arts through summer art programs, a holiday art show, exhibits at its Sheridan College Main Street Gallery and its new Community Art Center, and individual artist workshops.

Culture of Sculpture A Sheridan Public Arts Committee was established in 1999 by former Sheridan mayor Jim Wilson as a way to showcase sculpture throughout downtown Sheridan.

“The first sculpture was entitled Bozeman Scout and was erected in 2002 in the redeveloped Grinnell Plaza. Now there are 38 sculptures situated within our city,” says Fachon Wilson, Sheridan Public Arts Committee project manager.

“The committee today oversees an annual program called Art on Loan that welcomes 20 new pieces downtown each year that are also for sale by the artists.

Each year, two or more new permanent sculptures have been added by locals who purchase and donate them to the city’s collection.”

Cleaned and Waxed Fachon says new sculptures are unveiled during the second weekend of June in conjunction with a Celebrate the Arts festival.

“We have so much pride in the permanent sculptures – they are even cleaned and waxed for $3,300 a year by a professional painter and specialty cleaner from Loveland, Colorado,” Fachon says. “Locals and tourists alike are delighted by our collection.”

Chamber Report Reasons are many why companies should join uick question to all 535 members: Why is the Sheridan Q County Chamber of Commerce

important to you, especially in these tough economic times?

“We offer a lot of programs and networking events that help members grow their businesses,” says Dixie Johnson, executive director of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce. “And our chamber helps members not only in the big city of Sheridan as well as Sheridan County itself, but also the communities of Dayton, Ranchester, Big Horn, Arvada, Clearmont and other outlying areas.”

the downtown area, and works with the Downtown Sheridan Association to put on several annual events that help bring more people to the district.

An Eye on Cheyenne The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce also organizes networking functions such as a monthly luncheon every second Wednesday of the month,

and an after-hours mixer every third Wednesday.

“The chamber also hosts candidate forums for primary elections and general elections, and we always keep an eye on what the legislature is doing in Cheyenne to make sure Sheridan County’s voice is being heard,” Johnson says. “We do whatever we can to help our members, which is why so many companies and individuals stay with us.” – Kevin Litwin

Welcome, Dixie The Sheridan County Chamber has been around since 1913, and Johnson became its executive director on Jan. 3, 2011.

“I have already enrolled as one of the 20 participants in the chamber’s Leadership Sheridan County program, which educates us on the services and interesting aspects of our community,” she says. “The informative program occurs one day a month for eight months, and I’ll be in the August 2011 graduating class.”

How Can the Chamber Help?

Johnson points out that even in her short tenure as executive director, she is already promoting Sheridan County in many ways. For example, the chamber staff tirelessly remind residents that it is vital for them to shop in Sheridan County – because it affects everyone’s quality of life.

“The chamber also has several com­ mittees that meet monthly, including an Agriculture, Natural Resources and Public Lands Committee,” she says.

“Sheridan County is an agriculturallybased region, so the committee discusses all facets of how to make this vital local industry continue to thrive.”

Commitment of Committees The chamber also oversees a Workforce Development Committee that brings education and business leaders together each month to share ideas about the best workforce training practices for the 21st century. Also, the chamber’s Historic District Business Committee focuses on commerce in

economic profile Business climate The Wyoming economy is strong; the state is one of only a handful showing a large surplus annually for the last half dozen years. This is in large part due to the fortunate abundance of coal and natural gas. The Sheridan area mirrors the state’s economic growth but is more diversified. In addition to growth due to development of natural gas, Sheridan is also growing from a healthy mix of service sector growth, small-business growth, health care and construction.

Local Flavor

What’ll You Have? restaurants offer fine dining, Western fare and health food Dining out in Sheridan County can be many things, but to put it simply, it’s delicious. The area has an enticing mix of long-standing restaurants loved by the locals, several bar and grills, and fine dining establishments.

Sheridan County’s Landmark Restaurants

Jeff Adkins

Stop in the historic PO News & Flagstaff Café in Sheridan for a homemade lunch in an old newsstand and (smoke-free) cigar shop. The café is full of character, with original handmade cabinets and tin-stamped ceilings, and the menu features breakfast and an espresso bar all day, hot and cold sandwiches, soups and salads, and made-fresh pies and cobblers.

Also in downtown Sheridan, Wyoming’s Rib & Chop House invites diners to juicy hand-cut steaks served on sizzling plates, slow-cooked ribs, fresh seafood, buffalo, ostrich and even wild boar. It opened in 2002 and quickly became a favorite with the locals, so don’t be surprised if it’s a bit crowded. The Western menu is complemented by a large liquor and wine selection.

If it’s Friday night, you can bet many Sheridan County folks are eating at the Bozeman Trail Inn in Big Horn. The century-old restaurant establishment is known for its prime rib special on Fridays and Saturdays and live music Friday nights.

Originally a livery stable when it opened in 1882, the Bozeman Trail Inn was completely restored after it suffered a devastating fire in 2006 and reopened for business in 2008. It is owned and operated by the Sheperds, a mother-andson team.

S h e r i da n C o u n t y

Babyback ribs are popular at Wyoming’s Rib & Chop House in Sheridan.

More Favorite Sheridan County Restaurants For good home cooking try the Branding Iron Family Restaurant in Dayton. It’s a great place for casual dining. Locals keep going back for the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, liver and onions, homemade bread and pies.

Lulu’s Café, also in Sheridan, focuses on healthy foods such as organic eggs, produce, beef and chicken produced by local farmers. It is housed in an ecofriendly building and serves a fun menu for breakfast and lunch.

Enjoy the fresh brews at the new Black Tooth Brewery Company in downtown Sheridan. The brewery offers a fun atmosphere and locally handcrafted beers produced to match Sheridan’s unique culture and character. Try the Bomber Mountain Amber, Wagon Box Wheat, Saddle Bronc Brown or Stumpy Ridge Stout.

Looking for elegant fine dining?

You’ll find it at Remington’s Restaurant inside the clubhouse at The Powder Horn, Sheridan County’s nationally known golfing community. Enjoy a gourmet meal in the lavishly decorated dining room which overlooks the golfing greens and premiere homes.

If you’re looking to mingle with the local business folks over coffee on Sheridan’s historic Main Street then drop by Java Moon Coffee Shop. It’s the place for great java and teas, sandwiches and other coffee and lunchtime fare. In warm weather you can even sit outdoors and do some people watching while you sip.

You might also happen to catch a local pianist tickling the ivory.

A Throwback to the Old West Sheridan County Museums, Arts and Festivals Intrigue Visitors To get a feel for Sheridan County’s culture and history, climb aboard Sheridan’s Historic Downtown Trolley, which departs from the Visitors Information Center on East Fifth Street. The city’s two historic trolleys are motorized replicas of the electric trolleys that operated on city streets between 1911 and 1926, and they take summer visitors to Sheridan’s star attractions for just $1 per ride.

Sheridan County Museums and Historic Sites Experience “how the West was won” one small town at a time at the Sheridan County Museum, where you can see artifacts detailing local history. The museum presents a local perspective on the history of the American West and features a gift shop, interactive exhibits, dioramas and Western art.

The Bozeman Trail Museum in nearby Big Horn is another place to explore local history. Housed in an 1879 log blacksmith shop, the museum focuses on the Cloud Peak Boulder, an old

stone with names and dates believed to be carved by military scouts days before the Battle of the Little Bighorn fought in 1876.

Kids love the museum’s old pipe organs and are welcome to tickle the ivories.

Love all things Western?

Don’t miss The Don King Museum located inside King’s Saddlery, a Western tack store on Main Street in Sheridan. The King family devoted their lives to making award-winning saddles and ropes, and The Don King Museum houses more than three decades of the family’s collection of Western and cowboy memorabilia. Hundreds of saddles line the walls, along with

preserved wagons, coaches, Indian artifacts, guns, Western tack and original artwork.

One of Sheridan’s most famous landmarks is the historic Sheridan Inn, built in 1892 and once owned

by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody.

Although ownership of the inn has changed hands multiple times over the years, today it houses a restaurant called 1893 Grille & Spirits, which serves Westerninspired cuisine for lunch and dinner seven days a week.

Fundraising is ongoing to renovate the inn’s second and third floors, which will eventually make it a fully operational 22-room boutique hotel again.

Arts & Culture

Sheridan County citizens celebrate in true Western style at the Big West Arts Festival every August on the front lawn of Sheridan College. The free event features an art show, live music, food and beverage vendors, and entertainment.

Historic Main Street also hosts the Third Thursday Street Festival each month from May through September. The popular community event has dozens of vendors, demonstrations, raffles, music, steak cook-offs and more.

Sheridan County Festivals

Sheridan’s Wyo Theater You can’t miss the glowing marquis of the WYO Theater while strolling along Main Street in Sheridan. Built in 1923 as a vaudeville theater, the WYO Theater entertained Sheridan families for six decades before it closed in 1982. Thanks to concerned citizens, the theater was renovated and reopened in 1989, and today it hosts nationally known acts such as the Bellamy Brothers, the “Nutcracker Suite,” Glenn Miller Orchestra, and children’s theatrical productions, as well as many other local and regional performances.

Downtown Sheridan is a big draw for art lovers, thanks to the prevalence of public artwork to be seen there. Pick up an Art on Display brochure at the Fifth Street Visitors Center to embark on a self-guided tour of the nearly 30 sites to view public art, from stained-glass windows in local churches to a bronze rhino sculpture.

Through the Lens

Get the Story Behind the Photo Now that you’ve experienced Sheridan County through our photos, see it through the eyes of our photographers. Visit imagessheridancounty.com to view our exclusive photographers’ blog documenting what all went in to capturing those perfect moments.

From Our Photo Blog: Sheridan County Waking up at 4:30 a.m. isn’t my favorite thing to do. But that’s what I had to do to make it to Eatons’ Ranch in Wolf, Wyoming before sunrise.

Eatons’ Ranch, which has been in operation for 127 years, is the oldest dude ranch in the United States. Every evening the horses are set loose to graze on more than 7,000 acres of land. Then, every morning before sunrise, wranglers head to the hills to gather up the horses and drive them toward the stables for guests to ride as part of their week-long stay.

I could have spent a whole week photographing life on the ranch. It was definitely worth waking up so early, and is now one of my favorite assignments of all time.
