Trail End, also known as the John B. Kendrick Mansion, is a historic home located at 400 Clarendon Avenue in Sheridan, Wyoming. The home was built and inhabited by Wyoming governor and U.S. Senator John B. Kendrick. Built from 1908 to 1913, the house was designed by Glenn Charles MacAlister and cost $164,000. Kendrick was a successful cattleman when he commissioned the house, and he was only beginning his political career; once he became governor in 1914 and a senator three years later, Trail End became his summer home. The house is typical of homes built by prosperous Wyoming cattlemen in the early 20th century. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 26, 1970.[1]
The Sheridan County Historical Society purchased Trail End in 1969, saving it from threatened destruction and subsequently opening it to the public as a community museum. The state took over ownership in 1982.[2]
