Buffalo Bills center of the West Museum

We’re not huge museum fans, but we wanted to check out the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody Wyoming. We’ve heard that it is a pretty big museum at a Smithsonian level type museum and that it takes days to get through it. It’s also made up of five museums all in one.

Museums Included:
Buffalo Bill Museum: Focuses on the life of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and his impact on the American West.

Plains Indians Museum: Showcases the culture and history of Plains Indian tribes.

Whitney Western Art Museum: Features Western art, including paintings and sculptures.

Draper Natural History Museum: Explores the natural history of the region.

Cody Firearms Museum: Houses an extensive collection of firearms, showcasing their historical significance.

We started out in the firearms museum. Oh my gosh, I believe this is the largest collection of firearms in the US. It was room after room after room of different kinds of guns from all across different times. From the very beginning of time when guns first came about until current. Guns by made by every manufacturer. It was amazing. I took a photo of the largest gun I’ve ever seen and a photo of the smallest gun I’ve ever seen. Check them out. They even have a gun library where you can go and look up all different kinds of guns. I never knew that existed.

Next, we went to the art museum and the planes Indian museum. We kinda just walk through those. They didn’t really peak our interest too much.

Next, we went to the Buffalo Bill museum, which talks about all of the history with Buffalo Bill and his wild West show. It was pretty interesting.

Lastly, we went through the natural history museum. Which was actually pretty big and had a lot of interesting information on the animals and the geology of the area.

I guess if you wanted to read everything in the entire museum, you could spend two days doing it, but we only took one day. Czytaj więcej
