Cody - Buffalo Bill Historical Center

Cody's main sight is the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, a four-part museum complex that gives a lively impression of the history of the Wild West. The Buffalo Bill Museum displays saddles, guns, photographs and other personal possessions of Buffalo Bill. The Cody Fire Arms Museum has the largest collection of hand guns in the world. The Whitney Gallery of Western Art possesses what must be one of the finest collections of pictures on Wild West themes.
