The town has a relatively diversified economy which includes government, healthcare, education, real estate, mining, and financial services, with a growing manufacturing sector. Sheridan provides history with a view – from Main Street to the magnificent backdrop of the Bighorn Mountains – it offers modern hospitality with old west charm. For a long time, tourism has had a significant factor in Sheridan’s economy and community life. Numerous guest ranches including Eaton’s Ranch hosted guests that arrived by rail.
