Sheridan is one of Wyoming's most historic towns, and there's one overlooked museum tucked away in a mansion that you've got to see to believe. Trail End Historic Site is a preserved home that dates back to the early 1900s, and when you step inside, you'll feel like you've stepped back in a time machine.
When you visit Trail End State Historic Site, you'll be walking through a historic home and museum that's been preserved to let you take a look at what life was like in this Wyoming mountain town in the early 1900s.
Trail End was built by John B. Kendrick as a family home. Kendrick was an orphan who worked his way from poverty to prosperity, earning a fortune in ranching and eventually serving as Governor of Wyoming.
Today, his home is preserved and the history of his family is on display.
Every room feels like a step back in time. All displays and furniture are authentic or replica pieces that represent life between 1912 and 1933.
You can almost feel the music in the air and watch spirits of past residents waltzing their way across the home.
The grounds and gardens are just as impressive as the main house, and in the springtime, the property is bursting with the colors of the season.
The Carriage House is one of the most interesting spots on the property, so be sure you don't leave without stopping in to see it.
Visit Trail End on the web, here, to learn more about the Kendrick Family and the legacy they left on the Cowboy State. The website also has all of the information you could need to plan a visit. Don't skip this spot if you're spending time in Sheridan!
