News – Sheridan Media
Elling William (Bill) Gollings was a cowboy and a western artist who lived in Sheridan from 1909 – 1932. While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Museum at the Bighorns Executive Director Carrie Edinger announced two upcoming events that will honor the cowboy who loved to create art.
Edinger said Gollings worked for many different ranches, large cattle companies and even large horse outfits, earning his spurs. As he worked he would sketch and draw the work that was being done around him and the landscapes in which he worked. Doing so helped to preserve the lifestyle and places he loved.

A “Behind the Scenes” presentation on the research for the Gollings Statue will be 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 16, in the WYO Room at Sheridan County Public Fulmer Library. Edinger said there are plenty of available Gollings materials in the WYO Room for the public to see and learn more about this artistic cowboy.
A E.W. Golling Statue was once located at the 5th Street location of the Museum at the Bighorns. Since the sale of that building and relocation of the museum, that statue has been relocated.
