Familiar awards for Sheridan include the “Best Place to Live Like an Old West Cowboy” and the “Best Promotion of a Historic Place”; both honors were awarded to Sheridan last year. To receive both awards is a great tribute to our remarkable Western heritage and lifestyle of the Modern West. “We know how special Sheridan is, and it’s gratifying to be able to share all we have to offer with the True West readers.” Shawn Parker, Executive Director, Sheridan Travel & Tourism.
For the Historic Sheridan Inn to be awarded “Best Preservation of a Historic Western Building” and “Best Heritage Hotel” is a true testament to the incredible amount of time and work dedicated to the renovation and reopening of the Sheridan Inn.
The “Best Western History Book Store” was awarded to Sheridan Stationery, hometown bookstore and prominent fixture to Historic Main Street since 1993. The honor is aptly awarded with Sheridan Stationery’s vast bookshelves filled with local authors and local history along with best sellers, topography maps and stationery.
