William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody is center stage on the Sheridan Inn’s famous front porch. Co-owner Cody sold the idea of its construction to the Burlington & Missouri Railroad in 1892. Modeled after a Scottish hunting lodge, the hotel opened its doors on June 27, 1893. After a 50-year hiatus, the historic inn was restored, modernized and reopened in May 2015.– Courtesy Sheridan County Historical Society Collection/Sheridan
