About this Tour

Discover downtown Sheridan, Wyoming, on this audio walking tour. You will learn the history of Sheridan, a vibrant and engaging community envisioned by John Loucks in 1882 and a gateway to the Bighorn National Forest.

Loucks' dreams and visions quickly molded into reality. For more than 125 years, Sheridan Main Street has welcomed residents and visitors alike, making it a thriving place of commerce and an enjoyable destination.

This tour will accompany you downtown and share some of Sheridan's stories and sites. The downtown Romanesque architecture we see today still hints at the downtown's early days of vaudeville theaters, saloons, fine eateries, and unique shopping experiences. Sites along this tour include Rotary Park, Kendrick Park, Sheridan Heights Reservoir, and many more.

As you conclude this historic adventure, more information about the community and the industries that have created this unique community can be found at the Sheridan County Historical Society and Museum located at 850 Sibley Circle or the Downtown Sheridan Association on the corner of Main and Coffeen. Just look at your map screen to find these locations.
