What a great museum! I wish you could have spent more time and gone a little slower. We could see even when you thought the lights were dim. Thanks for the tour - it was terrific!! ❤️❤️❤️

Cody is a very impressive city, for only a population of 10,000. They've really expanded that museum from what they had when I last visited a few decades ago. They must have some wealthy benefactors to sustain a museum like that. If you want to see the most outstanding scenic highway in the country, take the Beartooth Scenic Highway (US 212) from Red Lodge MT through the Wyoming mountains to Yellowstone via Cooke City. They had a big flood there in July of 2022 that closed the road for a while so Google doesn't cover it yet, but it's open again now. Thanks for updating me on this area.

The best museum I’ve ever visited. At that time my children were 10, 11 and 14 and they also loved it. To see everything takes all day. If you have the time, well worth it.

I moved just outside of Billings recently and have a trip planned to see the museum. My friend Bob Munden passed away a few years ago and they have a display there honoring him. The display represents Bob and the love of his life Becky. They traveled the country doing fast draw competitions and exhibitions. Very good, down to eart folks. Safe travels.

You revived an old memory from Cody ,Wyoming. After you left the museum, I saw some land marks on the right that I remembered from fifty years ago. There was a place we stopped for breakfast on the right,before heading to Yellowstone. My father drove the 64 Dodge Van, pulling a small pop up camper! We went a different route,taking US 20 from Casper, through Shoshoni,Thermopolis and Cody. I remember staying in a campground in Shoshoni in August 1970. Met some very interesting people along the way!

I agree. I was in Cody a day ago and it is a very likable town. Just enough old and new . Yes,the Buffalo Bill Western Center is one of the most impressive museums that I've ever seen. For $19.75 a person do you get four very well presented museums. You will need at least two days to get through it all and fortunately that is what you get. Two days on one ticket. Don't miss it. Also,the Irma Hotel in the old part of Cody was Buffalo Bill's own hotel and by the looks of it still springs a good meal since it was packed.

Wife and I took our two kids thru Yellowstone and into Cody, They loved Cody. This was 25 years ago and fewer tourist amenities. We stayed in a 50s drive in motel. Was swimming with the kids in the little pool when a huge thunderstorm roared thru. Grabbed the kids and ouch running across the crushed rock parking lot kids in my arms was hilarious. Kids loved the 4th of July rodeo so much they wanted to return the next night and the ticket lady remembered us and gave us front row seats. The parade was great with clowns walking the route tossing candy. Are at a dive diner with real cowboys. Kids loved the museum. Perhaps research a bit the area or town you visit or cruise through. The Hotel Irma you passed had real colorful history. It’s a beautiful drive going into the east entrance. Enjoy.

This video popped up on my KZbin feed for some reason. Before I read the title I thought "hey, that looks like the museum"... I live in Cody (well, about 7 miles from town). It is a glorious place to live and raise a family (we have 4 kids at home). We usually get to visit the museum for free once or twice a year. They hold a few free days, including one around Christmas time. Cody is so full of History! So many things to do and see, many of these aren't even advertised as "tourist attractions". Cody is definitely The West! Not too shabby being close to Yellowstone, either ;).
