The Lifestyle

Buffalo and Kaycee, Wyoming, offer the lifestyle of days gone by. Where everyone knows your name and making your way through town takes time as you navigate your neighbors stopping to say their hellos. Where children can frolic and play without a care in the world. Where you can leave the grind behind for sweeping vistas and limitless outdoor adventures sure to soothe and inspire your soul.

“We have a diverse background of people that move here. When you move to a small community in some cases people will not accept you. Here they do. You don’t have to grow up here to become part of the community. The people who did are welcoming you here, we understand that we need some growth here in our community.”

Mark Smith, first generation Buffalo resident and Senior Vice President of Marketing for First Northern Bank.
