Union Shed

Settled in 1855 by E.C. Rodgers, Union Shed developed after 1857 around a one story house measuring 24' x 80' and an enclosed shed building measuring 40' x 40' x 20'. With these buildings and its corral and stable facilities, it became a crossroads and stop for wagon and freight trails, boarding as many as 60 teams per night. This activity soon attracted people, and Union Shed became the local market place. During the 1860's, the community renamed itself Sheridan after the Civil War General Phillip Sheridan.
