(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 30, 2010 ) SHERIDAN, Wyo.- Named the Â“Original #1 Western Town,Â” Sheridan, Wyoming is proud to share the coming together of the old and new west. For a bit of town history take a trolley tour along historic Main Street. YouÂ’ll see the original Town Hall and Firehouse, County Courthouse- with underground tunnel, KingÂ’s Saddlery, and the 117 year old Sheridan Inn. During an afternoon drink and snack at 1893 Grille and Spirits maybe youÂ’ll glimpse the ghost of former Sheridan Inn owner Buffalo Bill. National history lives nearby as well at old battle sites and forts. Spend an afternoon at Little Bighorn National Monument or Fort Phil Kearney. Similar to a time before the American West was settled, visitors can find peace and tranquility fishing in local lakes and streams or hiking in the Bighorn Mountains. In the winter months grab a pair of snowshoes for the trek or hop on a snow mobile and speed along the trails.
