| Buffalo, Wyoming - located in Johnson
County ... tucked away between the rolling plains of the old west and the
towering peaks of the Big Horn Mountains and the vast Bighorn National Forest. It's a
land rich in both western history and scenery. A place of sheep herders and cattle
barons, renegades and rustlers. Where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid holed up
after their outlaw exploits. Where miners consumed with gold rush fever passed through on
the Bozeman Trail. Where some of the most famous Indian battles in American history
occurred. And where the Johnson County Cattle War, a rangeland dispute which
historians often deem one of the most notorious events in our history, left its mark here
in the late 1880s ... and that Owen Wister wrote about in his epic American novel, The
Virginian. Johnson County is a place of legend and living
history surrounded by one of the last best unspoiled places in the American West.
Come see us ... experience both the beauty of the Big Horn Mountain wilderness and the
history of the Western frontier. |
