Our History

The Big Horn Mountain Stage began as a love story from a father to his daughter.

In 1903, Wyoming timber mill owner H.G. Church built the elaborate building for his daughter, as a wedding gift. 

She promptly sold the real estate and moved to California.

The rest is history.

The building, on the National Historic Register, has played home to several general stores, a rodeo office, a brothel, dance hall, live music venue, and a long line of Ten Sleep restaurants.

Today, the Big Horn Mountain Stage Company offers espresso, gifts, books and more!

Since 2007, the Stage has featured national recording artists and regional bands, including Jalan Crossland, James McMurtry, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, The Weary Boys and many more.

The building has served as a filming location for several films, and an entire first season of FOX Televison’s “Legend and Lies”.

With aged, native pine floors and original, pressed-tin ceilings from St. Louis Tinworks, the building still welcomes guests, new and old. Purported to be haunted, the ghosts are always welcoming.

Always warm, always cool.

History lives here.
