Our History
Outlaws & Pioneers

sundance wyoming history

Sundance Wyoming is nestled in the valley of the Bearlodge Mountains in Northeastern Wyoming on the western edge of the Black Hills. History and folklore abounds in the streets that were made for freight wagons and teams of horses, the Sundance Kid did his only jail time here and you can relive the history in our Crook County museum, housed in the newly remodeled Old Stoney building downtown.

Sundance was established in 1875 as a trading post and prospered in the wide open frontier of its time.  Not much has changed in the 100 plus years -  the skies are still huge and Sundance Mountain is breathtaking with its Native American Heritage and its monumental vista towering over this small town, population 1161.
