Take a Tour of Historic Downtown Sheridan!
The new TravelStorys historic buildings tour is now up and running! This is part of a collection of Wyoming audio tours that turns your cell phone into your own self-guided storytelling tour guide. There are eleven historic sites featured on this walking tour. State Senator Dave Kinskey, R-Sheridan, tells the history of each unique place while you view old photos of the buildings on your smart phone.
Teka Brock graciously offered her music to play in between stops while you make your way through our beautiful historic district. Upon entering each location, the TravelStorys app triggers the audio and draws you into another time and place.
The tour features the Hospital Pharmacy, WYO Theater, Kendrick Building (Best Our West), Old Town Hall & Fire Station (Beaver Creek Saloon), Mint Bar, Metz Lonabough Block (Java Moon/Over the Moon), Helvey Hotel & Cady Opera House (Sanford's), Bucket of Blood Saloon (ERA Carroll Realty) Mandel Cabin, Railroad District (Sheridan Inn), and the Elks Lodge. You must link to the app store or google play store to download the TravelStorys mobile app or go to the TravelStorys.com website.
If you like this tour, be sure to check out the Black Diamond Byway tour created by Sheridan County Land Trust. This mobile tour explores the many coal mines & communities that were established around the turn of the 19th century. While driving from Ranchester to just north of Sheridan, you will hear the authentic voices of members of towns & coal camps.
