Sheridan County Fairgrounds Historic District

 
 

Read All About It:

The Sheridan County Fairgrounds Historic District is part of the 40 acre fairgrounds tract. The district consists of the 1923 brick Exhibit Hall, three circa 1939 Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed sandstone buildings, a 1930s frame barn, and the 1950 frame horse stalls. A dedicated fairgrounds was constructed in the county by the late 1880s, then moved to its current site in 1906. The Sheridan Wyo Rodeo began in 1931 and it, along with the county fair, became two of the most anticipated annual events for county residents. The Sheridan County Fairgrounds Historic District serves as a vital link to the county’s agricultural and western roots. Three of the buildings were constructed by the WPA. The iconic pavilion is an excellent example of the stone work that was associated with WPA and New Deal construction.
