King's Saddlery & Don King Western Museum
Sheridan, WY
A downtown Sheridan tack store where saddles, ropes and ranch gear lead visitors through the Rope Shop and into the King family's sprawling Western collection of historic saddles, coaches and cowboy artifacts.
King's Saddlery remains a practical Western retail and craft business while also serving as the gateway to one of Sheridan's most unusual private cowboy museums.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Western tack retail, rope and leather craftsmanship, working shop environment and an extensive Don King Western Museum operated as one King's destination.
Western tack retail, rope and leather craftsmanship, working shop environment and an extensive Don King Western Museum operated as one King's destination.
King's Saddlery is an active Western tack store selling saddles, ropes, bridles, bits, ranch and rodeo gear and other changing Western merchandise. The same King Ropes visitor operation includes the public Rope Shop, where visitors may see leather craftspeople working on saddles or custom cowboy equipment, and the Don King Western Museum. The museum is located off the Rope Shop and is reached behind or across the alley from the main storefront rather than placing every component literally under one roof. Its large collection includes hundreds of historic saddles, wagons, coaches, Western tack, artwork and broader cowboy and Western memorabilia. The museum stays within this single same-business destination record. Production activity is not guaranteed, and museum objects are not represented as current store inventory.
