Quote: Buffalo Bill Photo - Buffalo Bill Historical Center : Plains Indian Museum, Cody, Wyoming The Buffalo Bill Historical Center was large enough to take an entire day to fully appreciate all it had to offer. The price of admission was reasonable and family friendly.

There were several levels and exhibits for all members of our family to enjoy. My husband was most interested in the guns and military history, which included weapons, mostly from the American Civil War forward. Our daughter and I very much enjoyed the Native Americans exhibit. We were especially touched by the focus on the women and their place in the family and society of their people. Our son saw many interesting paintings and artwork of western artists. The whole family learned a great deal from the wildlife exhibits including the animals of the area and the geological features throughout Yellowstone.

There were several interactive displays and interesting visuals and sound effects to capture the essence of the experience. We were not able to see everything in the center, but had we been inclined, we could have left and returned later in the day to finish viewing all the exhibits, video displays, etc.

Quote: This is the self proclaimed best museum of the west in the USA. I can well believe it, it was a wonderful place to visit. It actually now consists of 5 museums (the 5th, the Draper Museum of Natural History opened this year [2002] and I have not sen it). The ones I have seen are :

Buffalo Bill Museum: The story of Bill's life and his famous wild west show.

Whitney Gallery: Fantastic western art. Paintings and sculptures depicting the west.

Plains Indians: Thought provoking insight into the plains indian culture swept aside by the white european march across the west.

Cody Firearms: A wonderful collection of antique firearms. Shows the evolution of many famous 'brand' e.g. Colt 45.

Draper Museum: New museum added in 2002 shows the natural history of the area.
