Token from the WARNER & CANFIELD SALOON which was at the Sheridan Inn from 1908-1918. It is said that William F. Cody "Buffalo Bill Cody" frequented the Inn and its Saloon. The inn reopened as the "Sheridan Inn - Home of Buffalo Bill". The Inns website actually states that William Cody was part owner of this Inn.
The Sheridan Inn’s significance in our nation’s history lies primarily in its direct connection with William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, who developed and sold the concept of the Inn to the railroad. As part owner, he directed hotel management, and even auditioned new members for his touring company the “Wild West” show from the front porch. Buffalo Bill pulled together one of the most interesting cast of true-to-life characters that has probably ever been assembled. Some he had known as a young frontier scout and others he met later as a Pony Express rider, military scout, cattle rancher, mine owner, or in one of this many other enterprises.
