BUFFALO BILL CODY CENTER OF THE WEST

Our second day at Yellowstone Inn and RV Park was rainy. It was snowing in Yellowstone and there was snow on the peaks surrounding us.

So we stayed in and vegged.

On Tuesday we went to Cody because Ralph Tartaglia told us we HAD to. He was right. We only spent a day and we could have spent a week. Their gun collection totals over 7000. We attended a "30 minute" talk on guns that lasted an hour and fifteen minutes. Carol enjoyed the talk but I couldn't get her to walk through all the displays.

Five museums in one.

Buffalo Bill
Firearms
Plains Indians
Western Art
Natural History

They were ALL incredible. Along with the gun talk, we heard a talk on Annie Oakley - most, if not everything you "know" about her is so wrong. We also attended a raptor demonstration.

The art work, inside and outside was incredible.


 HEY -  We've been there !

 

Sacagawea.

 

This is a standing picture album that was in the Buffalo Bill Museum. He had it in his hunting tent. I have one that is exactly the same except for the picture. It was my Grandmother Cook's and this is the only other one I've ever seen.

Another great day.

Tomorrow we tackle Yellowstone again. Weather permitting.
