Wyoming’s past is full of pioneer stories, of cowboys, of battle, and of triumph. Throughout most of Wyoming’s recent history, Cowboys and horses have played a huge role. In Sheridan, a famous saddler named Don King truly made his mark. King built his first saddle in 1946 – and King’s Saddlery has been part of Wyoming history ever since.

Today, you can visit an impressive western Museum tucked away in the famous tack store.
