Thousands visit Buffalo, Wyoming for ‘Longmire Days’

Even though it’s been three years since the last new episode of “Longmire” aired, thousands of people last week visited the Wyoming town that inspired the setting for the books written by Ucross, Wyoming author Craig Johnson. An estimated 10,000 were in Buffalo, Wyoming on July 18-21 to celebrate the eighth annual “Longmire Days,” an event created to commemorate the popular television and book series. Fans from around the world flock to Buffalo for the autograph sessions with stars from the show, parades, a craft show, talent show and classic car show that highlight the weekend. Damaris Miller of Colorado said her love of the show will keep her coming to Buffalo every year even though the show is no longer in production. The streaming service Netflix continues to air past episodes of “Longmire.”
