I forgot to mention Fort Laramie National Historic Site in my previous post. A number of the original buildings have been restored/reconstructed and we found it to be a very interesting stop. I recall that there was a campground just as you turn off route 26 onto the road to the fort. Never stayed there though.
As a FYI, we have also used Country View Campground in Ogalalla several times on the way west or east.
Please advise about the "interesting stops between Buffalo and Sheridan". Perhaps some things we can add to our list for the next trip.
Thanks for the tips. Looking at the Wyoming map in the Buffalo/Sheridan areas along I-25 there is Jim Gatchell Mem. Museum, Ft. Phil Kearny SHS, Wagon Box Fight, Massacre Hill, Trail End SHS, and Conner Battlefield SHS. I'll have to do some research on these places to see if they might warrant a visit. I have looked up the stories about the Wagon Box Fight and Massacre Hill, and they are very interesting stories about battles with the Indians. Outside of Douglas there is the Wyoming Pioneer Memorial Museum, Ft. Fetterman State Historic site, and Ayres National bridge. I haven't researched those places yet.
