The Buffalo, Wyoming area is rich in history as multiple battles took place in the region. The Johnson County War, a battle between large cattle barons and homesteaders, took place just a few miles from Nimick’s Crazy Woman Retreat. Also, just a short drive from Buffalo is the Fort Phil Kearney historic site, the Fetterman’s Massacre Site, Wagon Box Fight, and the infamous “Hole in the Wall”- which was the hideout of the notorious Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid along with the rest of the Wild Bunch. The Jim Gatchell Museum in Buffalo is a must-see with over 15,000 artifacts from the Old West. The historic Bozeman Trail marked its path through the area and served as an overland route connecting the gold rush territory of Montana to the Oregon Trail.

The Basque culture is very rich in Johnson County. Many families in the area emigrated from the Basque country of the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France and made this area their home. Watching over large flocks of sheep they became a cornerstone of the local culture.

The area’s economy is driven by agriculture, tourism, and energy development. However, through the boom and bust of energy development, agriculture has remained the backbone of the local economy. Tourism remains a viable economic factor as Buffalo is located at the intersection of Interstate 90 and Interstate 25 and is a logical stopping point for visitors heading to Yellowstone National Park. As a result, Buffalo has excellent hotel amenities and restaurants.

The Retreat is home to an abundance of wildlife including whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge, and turkeys. The North Fork of Crazy Woman Creek traverses the Retreat for .57 miles. With a healthy riparian zone of cottonwoods, willows, and abundant grass, many species of wildlife are attracted to this space for food, water, and cover.

Muddy Guard Reservoirs #1 and #2 are located near the Retreat and are considered trophy fisheries. The Muddy Guard reservoirs are managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and provide excellent fishing opportunities.

Crazy Woman Canyon is just west of the Retreat and provides the opportunity to be “in the mountains” in just a matter of minutes. With rock climbing, camping, sightseeing, horseback riding, four-wheeling, or picnicking, Crazy Woman Canyon is a unique mountain setting consisting of towering rocks and waterfalls.
