Gateway to the Rockies

The year is 1866. The War Between the States is over, but the scars still remain. The Homestead Act and the ongoing construction of the trans-continental railroad have brought a new wave of settlers to the west. Situated on the old Oregon-California Trail in Nebraska Territory, the town of Sweetwater Crossing is the last stop before the Rockies - a trading post where wagon trains can rest, re-group and re-supply. Now, a brewing conflict between rival ranches disrupts the peace, and decades-old tensions with the Indian tribes have flared up once again.

Sweetwater Crossing is a historical-fiction MUSH set in the American Wild West. We strive for a fast-paced, dynamic environment, with frequent plots and gritty drama. If you are a fan of Tombstone, True Grit, or other classic Westerns, stop by and have a look.
