The Sheridan Community Land Trust (SCLT) is calling on local volunteers to assist with the ongoing restoration of Ol’ #115, the only remaining streetcar in Wyoming. The volunteer evening will take place on Thursday, August 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the SCLT Big Goose Natural Area, located at 14 Lane Ln in Sheridan.

Focus on weatherproofing

Restoration work this evening will concentrate on weatherproofing the historic vehicle. Volunteers will help seal windows, apply caulking, and perform other tasks designed to protect the streetcar from the elements. Participants may also be asked to lend a hand with additional restoration projects as needs arise.

No experience needed

SCLT emphasizes that no special skills or prior experience are required. Attendees are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes and clothing they don’t mind getting dirty. Those who have work gloves are welcome to bring them, though the organization will supply all necessary tools, supplies, snacks, and drinks.

Preserving local heritage

Ol’ #115 represents an important piece of Sheridan County history, and its preservation is made possible through the combined efforts of donors and volunteers. The land trust notes that community involvement is essential to keep the streetcar in good condition for future generations.

How to sign up

Interested residents can learn more and register for the event by visiting the SCLT website at sheridanclt.org/events/streetcar-volunteer-evening-aug20/. The organization encourages anyone with a willingness to help to join, whether they can stay for the full two hours or just a portion of the evening.

This volunteer opportunity highlights the value of community service in preserving local landmarks and offers a hands‑on way for Sheridan residents to contribute to their shared heritage.
