A LITTLE ABOUT STORY, WYOMING...

Our town is located as high on the Big Horn Mountain of Wyoming as you can go and still be in a year-round community.  Located at about 5000 ft above sea level, we are half way between Sheridan, WY and Buffalo, WY.  We are quite near I-90, but if you don't know we are here, you would drive right past us. 

The town itself is actually a huge cul-de-sac since our two main roads (paved State Hwys) dead end on the mountain.  Thus you have to go back out of town the same way you came in.  We think that this non-pass-through nature adds much to the character of our community.

Our weather here is somewhat different from Sheridan and Buffalo, Wyoming due to the altitude.  Generally, we are 10 degrees warmer in the winter (cold air slides right by us) and 10 degrees cooler in the summer.  But, we get more snow than either of those two neighboring towns. 

And you will ask, "How much snow?" Well, it depends on the winter.  My approach to it is that I always keep a winter coat handy just in case, even in the summer.  Some years we seem to shovel a lot and other years not so much.  Locals say that we average between 150 to 175 inches per winter.  Couldn't prove it by me!  I just know that, having come from near Pittsburgh, PA, I certainly appreciate the big blue sky and the sunshine all winter long!  And the air is such that the edges of things even far away are crisp and sharp.  A real treat for the eyes!

Our "main" street or "business" district is about a block long.  There you will find the world wide headquarters of the Electronic Classroom Furniture Systems, Lodore Supper Club, MoJo Risin Coffee Shop,  the Story Post Office, the Story Branch Library, the Fire Department, the Woman's Club, and the Story Art Station.

Story Realty is right around the corner from the Art Station.

As of November, 2006, we have CELL PHONE  service along with several sources of high speed Internet service.  (There are those who woe the day cell service came to Story...and many who rejoice!)

If you are looking for a drop-dead gorgeous spot in Wyoming where
it is quiet, restful and yet near to the larger towns (Sheridan and 
Buffalo), then Story may be the spot for you.  

There's plenty of outdoor activities year-round from hiking to fishing
to snow fun.  We believe that if you are a person who can
"amuse" yourself with your pursuits, hobbies and activities then
you would thrive in Story.
