I stopped by today and found out they had just had a renovation after I was greeted by the very friendly young woman working at the desk. The museum is very small, but lovely and their Native American section brought me to tears, and their new Suffragette section gave me a new respect for Wyoming... being the first state to give women the vote. I also really loved seeing the Antique Coal miners Union Badges.. huh... Early Women's Rights and Strong Union Ties.. what's up Wyoming!

If you are visiting Buffalo, Wyoming, staying at the Historic Occidental Hotel is an absolute must…read more The moment you walk through the doors, it honestly feels like stepping back into the Old West. The hotel is beautifully preserved with so much authentic character, history, and charm everywhere you look. We loved exploring the historic saloon, antique decor, creaky wooden floors, and all the incredible stories connected to the hotel. It was amazing knowing legends like Buffalo Bill Cody, Calamity Jane, Teddy Roosevelt, Butch Cassidy, and the Sundance Kid all spent time here. You can truly feel the history throughout the building. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and passionate about the hotel's history, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy, unique, and unlike any modern hotel experience. We also really enjoyed walking around downtown Buffalo since the hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of town. If you love history, road trips, Western culture, or unique travel experiences, this place is unforgettable. The Historic Occidental Hotel is more than just a hotel -- it's a true Wyoming experience and one of the coolest historic places we've ever visited. Highly recommend!

We sat at the bar for 18 minutes before anyone spoke to us. The couple that came in after us and…read moresat at a table was helped before us. The bartender never acknowledged us. We had to get our own menu. Three more employees came by and finally one waited on us. We ordered wings and it took forever to get them. The waitress flung them in front of us and said "here's your wings". No plates, no napkins. There were probably not even 1 pound of wings in the basket. The menu said 2 pounds. No one ever came to see how our food was or if we needed anything else, like another drink. We had to ask to get napkins and that seemed to be a chore for her. After finishing our food, the bartender walked by three times looking at the empty basket but never asking if we needed anything or taking the basket away. We finally got his attention, which wasn't easy, to get our ticket.

Very well preserved place with a lot of the original furnishings. Definitely worth a detour in your plans to check this place out. The lady who works there greeted me when I walked in, gave me a breakdown of the history of the place as well as a couple brochures, and charged me $8 to wander around the 3-story house (plus basement) and the grounds, which was perfectly fine by me. There are modern public restrooms available in the basement and an elevator has been installed for tourists, though I preferred using the well-built stairways. Some of the rooms are guarded by plexiglass but you can see everything from the doorways. Other rooms you can enter. There's a framed description at the entryway of all the rooms and points of interest as you walk around. Anyway, they don't have a big gift shop like so many museums do, but they have post cards for sale.

The 1913 constructed mansion and carriage house both sit on nearly 4 beautiful acres in a…read moreresidential neighborhood near downtown Sheridan. Built by and once home to Texas born cowboy turned self made man John Kendrick who became a Wyoming State Senator, Governor and then in 1916 Wyoming's US Senator, the property is now owned by the State of Wyoming as a historic site. One of the things that makes this such a well maintained, fabulous tour back in time is that it was owned continually by the Kendrick family until the last member, John Kendrick's son Manville, moved on in the early 1960's at which time the state acquired it. Although the carriage house is now leased to a theater group and no longer open to tour, the entire 13,748 square foot mansion and all of the grounds are open to the public. See their website for hours which change seasonally. GOT A KICK OUT OF THIS "DO AS I SAY..." My husband and I noted during our walk about of the house that although Governor Kendrick supported legislation in Wyoming that limited alcohol and then as U.S. Senator he voted in favor of the January 1919 ratification of 18th Amendment which resulted in Prohibition effective January 1920 (until repeal in 1933 through passage of the 21st Amendment) neither he nor his wife believed Prohibition applied to them or their guests. In fact there was a grand for its' time liquor storage cabinet built in behind paneling in the main entry hall. In addition, an elevator shaft they built but in which they did not install an elevator, was used for storage for their fine wine collection. There you go. I will suspend my "isn't that just like a politician for do as I say not as I do" commentary. :-) FAVORITE ROOMS & FEATURES Worth a linger for me were the butler's pantry and kitchen on the first floor, the stellar for its' day powder bath on the first floor and the maid's quarters and bath on the upper floor. Oh, and that liquor storage behind the paneled wall of the entry of course. :-) Plus the detail and craftsmanship in the woodwork throughout the house, in particular the office, living room, main hall and ballroom, are beautiful. Photos are allowed but without flash so couldn't capture this for postiing images. BOTTOM LINE: Touring this house and the grounds was a delightful way to spend a couple of hours in Sheridan and the highlight of our relatively lowlight stop over there. We recommend it. THIS N THAT: 1) ENTRY FEE: into the mansion is only four bucks, two bucks if you have a Wyoming driver's license. Go. No fee required to walk the lovely grounds. 2) PARKING: two spots of accessible (aka ADA) parking are at the back of the mansion near an accessible ramp. Otherwise you need to park on street in the neighborhood in which the mansion is located and walk up the driveway to the front door. 3) ACCESSIBILITY: All four floors of the mansion are accessible by an (small and ancient but it works) elevator. You can park at the back of the mansion (two ADA spaces there). There is a ramp at the back entry to avoid the stairs at the front. You'll enter the back door at which there is a button to push to ring the docent who will promptly let you in. Nice. 4) TIME: They are open until 6p. Plan on spending a couple of hours.

Cleverly concealed in downtown Buffalo, Wyo.'s "Sheriff Walt Longmire re-election campaign headquarters" on S. Main Street, this is the place for all the fan necessities one could ever desire. Especially cool is that the business is run by Johnson's wife, Judy -- who book fans know from the dedications of all of his books. (She *is* as special as the dedications imply). And Johnson frequently drops by the store. I greatly admired Branch Connelly's tan jacket from the TV series, but was disappointed that it isn't made by Carhartt or some other provider I knew. Judy carries the real thing -- Schaefer Outfitters ranch wear clothing (made in the USA!) and I can happily confirm that the coat is not only a good looking garment, but the match for blustery Wyoming fall weather. (My wife insists I remove my new coat before coming to bed.) In fact, Judy said she persuaded TV producers to outfit some of the cast in Schaefer clothing for an authentic Wyoming look. This is a fun store with super staff (besides Judy) and a lot of clever Longmire-iana. Buffalo is a charming small town with a lot of Western history and many iconic businesses that Johnson has incorporated into his mythical Durant, Absaroka County Longmire universe. Even if you are not a Longmire fan, Buffalo is worth a visit. If you are a fan, this is a "must stop."
