The first motion picture star to live in Wyoming was William F. Cody,
also known as
Buffalo Bill. He was the subject of the first-ever western movie,
"Congress of Rough Riders," made by the Edison Company in 1893.
That same year, one of the grandest hotels in
Wyoming opened in Sheridan. The
Sheridan Inn would
later serve as an audition platform for acts wishing to join
Cody's famed Wild West Show. Cody led the Grand March for the Inn's gala
opening night. Later part owner, he would audition talented
Wyoming cowboys from his seat on the veranda.
Partly refurbished and maintained to quality
standards, the Inn will be once again be home to a
rollicking western extravaganza annual in June to commemorate its birthday.
Visitors of all ages will have the opportunity to
experience what life was like in
the late 1800s.
