Trail End State Historic Site
400 Clarendon Avenue in Sheridan (307) 674-4589
From its authentically furnished rooms to its finely manicured lawns, the Trail End State Historic Site displays an elegantly different aspect of Wyoming’s colorful ranching history. Built in the Flemish Revival style in 1913, Trail End was the home of John Benjamin Kendrick. A cattle rancher who started out a Texas cowboy, Kendrick ended up as Governor of Wyoming and a United States Senator. Trail End is the perfect place to take a moment and just imagine what life might have been like in Wyoming during the early years of the 20th century.
From laundry room to ballroom, Trail End offers an intriguing glimpse into life during the period 1913 to 1933. Exhibits and displays throughout the home’s fully-furnished historic interior provide information on daily life, entertainment, interior design and technology. The house and grounds were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. A state-held property since 1982, Trail End is currently operated by the State Parks & Historic Sites Division of the Wyoming Department of Parks and Cultural Resources.
The house is closed to the public from December 15 through March 31. The site grounds are open year round until sunset. A fee is charged.
