Sheridan Wyoming is approximately three hours east
of the Yellowstone National Park's eastern gate and one hour south
of Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument
it sits at the eastern base of the beautiful
Big Horn mountains Sheraton Wyoming has breathtaking views wide
open spaces and a western charm
you will find that the town of Sheraton is what Wyoming is meant to be
and a place where you can get your west
on
do note on a Sunday it seems like they kind of roll up the sidewalks here
you know so as you can see there's like nobody on the streets
um there are some things open but most of the stores seem to be closed it also
is a holiday weekend that we're here um so it might be close because of that
um but we're gonna come by tomorrow because tomorrow's monday so hopefully
some things will be open so the mint bar is pretty famous it's
been around forever and they have the coolest neon sign we'll come back
this evening to take a look at it so up in front of me is at the mint bar
i was so bummed because last night its sign was
off and i didn't get that beautiful famous
bronchial horse sign that makes the skyline here so
famous so you definitely have to go to kings when you're here
sorry i'm on a main street so loud but do note
that they seem to be close on sundays we're gonna come back tomorrow because
i'm looking for a hat box for my cowboy hat
but this is a very famous place to stop at
and take a gander
so keep your fingers crossed i'm hoping that king's salary is open this morning
it's a monday morning um because it was closed and i want to
get a hat box in there so keep your fingers crossed
the king's saddlery legacy began with dawn
king in 1946 dawn was the first to create the
sheridan flower style of leather carving
a style that has influenced leather workers all over the world
in the late 1960s ropes were added to the king's inventory
next thing they knew the store became world renowned for those two
the operation is still owned and operated by the king
family
oh my god this place is amazing i want like so many things in the store
these purses are adorable
oh my god i wish i had grandchildren those are like the cutest little things
they're like long hair longhorn um rocking horse hobby horses those are so
cute i'm gonna get a really nice sweatshirt this thing is
so cool all right i'm totally getting this purse
make sure that you go to the back of the store
and go through this back door that's where the museum is and it is a must-see
there all right let's take a look
oh this place is awesome this is really awesome
oh my god there's a giraffe
so did you find anybody that was really famous there
it's mr martini the museum's out of the way
okay this place is fantastic not only is there's just
wonderful western history in here but there are some
wonderful native american um artifacts also
that are in here this is a hearse to the casket see somebody's
in there
just in case you need to decorate your bear
beautiful the artistry is
don't touch honey um these are this one is called the hope saddle and it's one
of the oldest saddles um in the collection it's from 1800 to
1849 and it was um from
a spanish calvary officer so it's pretty cool
and the docent here was telling me that notice how these
the horns are really big and then of course they get smaller and smaller as
the saddle evolves so this was gene autry saddle this
beautiful silver
oh man and i stand corrected the queen was here to get a saddle
her saddle's not here so she was here in the 80s to get a saddle made
queen elizabeth oh my god look at that he's two headed
in his driveway he was never in his right mind mr martini says
oh my god he's our comic relief obviously
between the rawhide song and yeah this is a three-headed
cow oh my gosh look at this poor thing all right i got my purse and they gave
me a stetson box for my hat because it keeps getting crushed in the car
how sweet is that you've got to stop at kings and buy some purses and hats and
all sorts of things it's a wonderful store
so we're driving around uh behind main street and sheridan and we
are so impressed on how great these houses are
i mean they're just they're historic they're just well
kept they're just beautiful i had no idea it is just the neatest
little town
so i'll tell you one thing there are some awesome homes so if you go
further if you go further down from um downtown you're gonna find some just
really cool what were mansions of their day
um they're just really nice right oh my god look at these these are just
amazing look at that place this is so cool that is awesome i love it in that
color too oh these are amazing a lot of them
are redone and well kept really well kept oh wow
very nice so this is the shirted inn it was built by
buffalo bill cody it was closed down for
quite some time and they were talking about tearing it down
um but the people sheridan just you know they didn't
they wouldn't have it so it's been restored
um and it's right across from the train tracks that's probably why he built it
here um was so people could get off the train
and stay in the hotel um it's quite nice
one thing i noticed about sheridan is they are proud of their neon signs
um they seem to have like these old neon signs and they're pretty dang cool
so the one thing i've noticed is that all through the town is these
great pieces of artwork um are just really nice just
all over
bye so a lot of these bronze you know like
count these cowboys and stuff um several of
them actual friends mom um did them
not this no this one's donated i was hoping i'm hoping to find some of her
artwork here
so we're at the koa in sheridan it's very nice um it has
huge pull throughs i mean look at this
they're like huge and there's a little creek
on the side here you can't swim in it but you could probably fish if you
wanted to so we have a nice two-room uh cabin
it's got this really nice deck that we can sit on
um fire pit and even a charcoal barbecue it's really nice and it's facing
away from the sun in the afternoon so that's really nice
um i have the older i get i'm realizing i like these more quieter camps um other
than the resorts we just came from the buildings koa
and it was so loud we were calling it camp cove but actually because it was so
crowded um but this one's nice and quiet and
um i really like it a lot because it's just a great place to sit
and read a book
