Things to do in Sheridan

Sheridan's best day mixes Main Street and the mountains: coffee at Java Moon, King's Saddlery and its free Western museum, lunch downtown, a Bighorns trail or the Brinton Museum, and a Hamm's at the 1907 Mint Bar. Below is every Sheridan spot we send our guests to — with the note we'd give you in person.
