Buffalo

Buffalo, Wyoming, is one of the most historically significant towns in the American West. Buffalo, once known as the "most lawless town in America", is home to the TA Ranch, where the Invaders of the Johnson County War were holed up. A bloody battle on the Range resulted from angry Big Business cattlemen fighting violently against smaller farmers defending their right to settle in Wyoming. At Buffalo's Jim Gatchell Museum, you can learn more about one of Wyoming's most significant events. Over 15,000 preserved artifacts from the Wild West and the early days of Johnson County can be found in the Museum.

Walking through downtown Buffalo is like stepping back in time; it's no surprise that A&E chose Buffalo as the setting for their cowboy drama, Longmire. Despite the fact that the show is set in the fictional Absaroka County, much of it takes place right here. When a major television network decides to film a cowboy drama in your cafe, it speaks volumes about the hearty and delicious food you've been serving for years. There are dozens of historic buildings in Buffalo, Wyoming, including the haunted Occidental Hotel. When you visit, be sure to order one of their steaks - the Buffalo Steak is ideal for those with a large appetite. Buffalo is the ideal starting point for exploring the Bighorn Mountains and the Cloudy Peak Wilderness for the adventurous Wyomingite.
