Buffalo Bill Cody, a frontiersman, showman and Wild West
icon, founded Cody Wyoming. Today the town of Cody does Bill proud by
preserving the spirit of the romanticized American frontier. The Buffalo
Bill Historical Center has several museums dedicated to this, including
the Western Arts, Plains Indians, Yellowstone Ecosystem & American
Firearms Museums. There’s even one for Buffalo Bill himself. Bill
would also doubtless approve of the Cody Nite Rodeo, held nightly June
to August.
