Visit the Buffalo Bill Historical Center

Gear up to explore the Greater Yellowstone region with a stop at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center where "Celebrating the Spirit of the American West" is what we do every day. We are located in northwest Wyoming with Yellowstone National Park in our backyard—a mere 50 miles from the park's East Gate.

We have five enormous galleries covering all topics of the American West.

Our Plains Indian Museum covers the past and ongoing cultures of the Great Plains.

Our Draper Museum of Natural History is THE museum on the Greater Yellowstone Region and Ecosystem. This is a great way to learn more about the nature you came to see at Yellowstone National Park.

The Cody Firearms Museum has a massive collection of significant firearms, whether it is because of their place in history or attractive nature of their design.

The Whitney Gallery of Western Art showcases the artwork of the masters of Western painting like Remington and Russell, but also offers a variety of artistic perspectives on the West past to current day.

The Buffalo Bill Museum focuses on the man, William F. Cody who was probably the most famous person in the world during much of his lifetime. He was one of the first to share the American West with the world and we are continuing his legacy.

The Buffalo Bill Museum is currently being re-installed and will reopen in May 2012 keeping some of the many elements visitors loved, but also moving forward into the future with more interactivity.

An outstanding museum, and the live raptors and turkey vulture make it even more special and unique.
