Buffalo BillState Historical ParkNo one figure personifies the frontier spirit better than William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, the West’s most colorful showman, army scout and buffalo hunter.
The legacy of the life and times of Buffalo Bill lives on at Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park. Cody’s elegant Victorian house, built in 1886, and huge barn sit on 25 acres of what was originally a 4,000-acre spread that Cody called Scout’s Rest Ranch. The home is filled with period furnishings and Cody belongings. In the theater room you can watch a movie made of film clips taken at the time the show was touring throughout the United States and Europe. The barn now features Wild West Show memorabilia, photographs, original posters, and historic carriages. As an added attraction, horseback riding is now offered on trails throughout the State Recreation Area.
