The Mint has a rustic atmosphere, with cowboys hittingching their steeds outside the door. During the old days, coat-checking was done with nickel-plated revolvers, and the sound of steel spurs echoed through the bar. This is a place to relax with a glass of beer and catch up on stories with fellow travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city is also home to a 20,000-acre ranch and the Ucross Foundation, a nonprofit foundation assisting local artists. You can explore the museum&#8217;s art collection by visiting the large red barn. The gallery is open every day from 8am to 5pm on weekdays, and 10am to 4pm on the weekends. While you&#8217;re in Sheridan, be sure to spend time hiking through the beautiful park and taking in the spectacular scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town itself has a unique history. The town was founded in the mid-nineteenth century and was the second largest town in Wyoming until the city was incorporated in 1912. The town&#8217;s historic buildings are now home to a quaint art gallery, a boutique, a few gift shops, and a brewery. Visitors should also visit the Sheridan Hotel, which has been reopened in recent years after extensive restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A historic ranch, Brinton Ranch Museum, is another must-see while in Sheridan. The Brinton Museum houses American Indian and Western art, including the new Forrest E. Mars, Jr wing. You can also enjoy a game of polo at the Flying H Polo Club. Getting to Sheridan is not as easy as it sounds, but once you arrive you&#8217;ll know why. If you&#8217;re looking for something a bit more fun, Sheridan may be the perfect place for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city is also home to the famous Buffalo Bill Hotel, which was built by the man who made the Wild West show famous. The hotel became a popular destination for travelers, and Buffalo Bill himself often watched the auditions from the porch of his hotel. Afterwards, the Buffalo Bill Hotel became a hot spot for a fun-filled day. This historic landmark is located on a hilltop with panoramic views of the surrounding Bighorn Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Burlington &amp; Missouri Railroad arrived in Sheridan in 1892. After the B&amp;M arrived, local merchants paid off tens of thousands of dollars in bank loans. Coal mines soon opened in the Tongue River Valley, starting a twenty-year boom for the town. Within two decades, the population of Sheridan had jumped from 1,559 to 8,408 residents. The city is today a major service center for the Tongue River Valley and surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 58-mile paved highway crosses the crest of the Bighorn Mountains and is the perfect day trip from Sheridan. Visitors can also explore the Cloud Peak Wilderness, a wilderness area of 189,000 acres, with its thirteener Cloud Peak. In July and August, Cloud Peak is typically covered in snow. The town is home to a number of national parks and attractions, including the historic Old West. There&#8217;s no shortage of things to do in the town of Sheridan, Wyoming, including shopping, dining, and entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The oldest bar in Wyoming, The Mint, has been serving locals and travelers alike since 1907.
