Cody was founded by "Buffalo Bill" Cody as a hospitality center. Today, the hospitality is alive and well! Cody's historic downtown bustles with horse drawn carriages, a trolley and unique restaurants, shops and galleries. Cody is home to the largest history and art museum in the West: the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, which includes the Whitney Gallery of Western Art, the Plains Indian Museum, the Cody Firearms Museum, the Buffalo Bill Museum and the Draper Museum of Natural History. Old Trail Town is a collection of frontier buildings chronicling the American West. And every night during the summer, Cody Nite Rodeo bursts out of the gates in rip-roaring cowboy action. So even today, more than a century after "Buffalo Bill" founded the city, Cody is still a wild ride!
