Sheridan, WY Named In Newsmax Magazine's Top 25 Cities & Towns With Best American Values

Sheridan ranked No. 21 in Newsmax Magazine's list of uniquely American towns that included Wichita, Kan., at No. 1 and Kennesaw, Ga., at No. 25.  Longtime NBC "Today Show" travel editor and New York Times best-selling travel author Peter Greenberg compiled the list based not only on factual data (a town's proximity to medical care, its public spaces, civic events, churches, school curricula, etc.), but also on what he called his "personal feelings for these communities."

"These are the places that remind me about the greatness of our land," he stated in this month's issue of Newsmax.  Greenberg stated in the article that "Sheridan is the real deal. This Old West town has put its heart and soul into preserving its rich American history and succeeded--without becoming a theme park."  Greenberg applauded Sheridan as a community that embraces its Western roots, tourism, the arts, historic restoration (with special mention of The Historic Sheridan Inn) and offers abundant recreational activities throughout the year.
