Newcastle is on the edge of two wonderful geographical worlds – the prairie grasses of the high plains and the mountains and valleys of the Black Hills. Newcastle is a great small town from which to wagon wheel out to see all the sights and sounds of the prairies and the mountains. Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower and other Black Hills attractions are an easy drive. From here you can trace Custer's 1874 route into the Black Hills, drive the Cheyenne - Deadwood Stage Trail, or tour the short grass prairie's open and unending spaciousness - its sagebrush, ranches, tumbleweeds, antelope, prairie dogs, birds and more - which echo the days gone by under crystal clear blue skies. Or you can head on south to Yellowstone Country.
Like other small towns in the region, Newcastle, Wyoming has that western flavor and western hospitality. Newcastle offers the family or individual a variety of lodging, a multitude of gift shops, and several good restaurants. Come visit for just a while or stay for the rest of your life.
