I doubt that these are the original doors to the historic Sheridan Inn, a hotel/restaurant built in 1893 and once managed by Buffalo Bill Cody who would hold auditions for his Wild West Show on the front porch. The hotel, bar and restaurant are still in operation in Sheridan, Wyoming.
-
- The Sheridan Inn has been open for business for over 100 years
-
- Enter into the lobby of the hotel and you go back in time.
-
- The reception area has been preserved in its original form.
-
- As has the bar–a popular local meeting place.
-
- Where sometimes the spirit of Buffalo Bill seems to reappear.
-
- The large front veranda provides extra seating for guests
-
- as well as the present manager.
-
- These gable windows have looked out upon a lot of history in this western town.

It is much bigger than I would have imagined a hotel from Wild Bill’s time. Great doors.

I second Irene’s comment. I would not have expected it to be so big. But it sure is lovely.
Very welcoming doors too.
With all that storied history it must be a special place to visit 🙂

Judy, I love this!! I’ve been going to Sheridan every summer since college to go up to the Bighorn Mountains and although I’ve been by the Sheridan Inn many times, I’ve never gone in. I think I must remedy that next year!!

Yes, it does like a saloon (a very posh one!) Can imagine people love it there!
Can’t remember if I told you about your last name, it’s Frisian, and hubby comes from there. When we lived in Holland, and her brought me to his parents house for the first time, it felt so much like I was abroad, because everyone spoke Frisian, and hubby had to translate!

Yes when my dad went to school he didn’t know English. His dad was Frisian and his Mom Dutch also but not Frisian. And I just discovered a friend I grew up across the street from in South Dakota had a Mom whose family name was my grandpa’s given name. Her relatives came from the German Friesland and my grandpa from the Dutch.
