Join SCLT History Program Manager Kevin Knapp for the very first guided walking tour of the Sheridan Railroad Historic District. This inaugural tour will explore the people, industries, and landmarks that helped shape Sheridan into a vital rail hub of the American West.

The tour begins at Grinnell Plaza (55 Grinnell Plaza), just outside Sheridan City Hall, on May 16 at 1:00 p.m. From there, participants will walk approximately ¾ mile through the historic district—primarily on sidewalks and paved surfaces—uncovering stories of early railroad development, local entrepreneurs, and the enduring legacy of rail transportation in the community. The tour is expected to last between 45 minutes and an hour. There are places along the tour where you can sit and rest.

This program is free and open to the public, though sign up is preferred.

Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring water if they’d like.

Come experience a new way to connect with Sheridan’s history, right where it happened.

SCLT is deeply grateful to Mickey Douglas and Jean Harm for the many hours of volunteer research that helped bring this walking tour to life.
