Explore History for June will feature Trail End State Historic Site and Kendrick Arboretum
The public is invited to Explore History with the Sheridan Community Land Trust, The Hub on Smith and the Tongue River Valley Community Center this June as we visit the Trail End State Historic Site and Kendrick Arboretum, the first professionally landscaped private home in Wyoming.
The Trail End State Historic Site tour will feature Kendrick Mansion’s early landscaping, garden and arboretum and will be guided by Sharie Shada, Trail End Site Superintendent. The tour will also feature a tour of the Kendrick Arboretum led by arborists and Sheridan Tree Board members Zack Houck and Clark Van Hoosier.
The arboretum was established in 2013 to build upon Mr. Kendrick’s 1908 vision. Bill Yellowtail from Crow Nation will share the Crow migration story while participants enjoy the Bighorn Mountain views.
