Story, Wyoming is an eclectic unincorporated community of approximately 650 - 750 residents, located in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains, midway between Sheridan, Wyoming and Buffalo, Wyoming.  There are retirees, artists, musicians, writers, physicians, attorneys, a judge, sportsmen of every ilk, fly fishermen, a corporate office, and  even a few hippies left over from the sixties.  Many regular folk also live in Story, but work in Sheridan, preferring the peaceful morning and evening drive as a way of relaxing before and after their work day.

     Most residents are attracted to Story because of the convenient and safe access to a leisurely and recreational lifestyle.  There's no traffic to annoy the runner or cyclist, and there are numerous routes on the many country roads, both paved and unpaved.  Penrose Trail, at the western side of Story offers easy access into the Bighorn National Forest, and accommodates the hiker, the hunter, or those that just want to ride up on their ATV.  Just five minutes from Story, this part of the Big Horn Mountains boasts an abundance of wild game, including elk, deer, moose, black bear, mountain lion, antelope, and many other species just too numerous to mention.  So whether you're a hunter or you just simply like to observe the wildlife, there's no better place.  For the fisherman or boater, in addition to the many lakes and streams, there is also Lake DeSmet, located just ten (10) minutes from Story.  If dining out appeals to you, Story has three casual restaurants, and nightlife can be enjoyed at several local bars.

     If you are a history buff, you might be surprised to know that this area is rich in Native American and early American history.  The site of Fort Phil Kearny and its adjacent museum is just a five minute drive, as well as the site of the Wagon Box Fight, and the Fetterman Fight.  These are all well-documented sites where some major battles between Native Americans and the U.S. Calvary occurred in the early years of our country's history.
