The Irma Hotel in the middle of the main street was built by Cody for his daughter Irma.

The main street - For such a small town the street is unfeasably wide. It turns out this was the original layout that allowed oxen carts pulled by teams of 18 oxen to swing around and do a 180 degree turn. The width of the street this left in many western USA towns is perfect for the motor car. Room for cars parked at both sides of the road, two lanes each way and a central lane for turning. At the far western end is the Buffalo Bill Center. The city park is on your right as you look down main street. Towards the center of main street there are many shops and places to eat. At the extreme east end of the street is another area called I think the old town. It's boardwalks and shops are again nice to visit. ${QuickSuggestions} Buffalo Bill Historical Centre
Visit here and allow at least half a day to make a reasonable stab at seeing all there is to see.

Buffalo Bill Dam
just outside the west end of town is a nice way to spend and hour or two. Walk along the top of the dam and marvel at the view down the rocky canyon and send some time in the visitor center.

Irma (Buffalo Bills Daughter) Hotel
Hotel in the middle of Cody's main street built by Buffalo Bill for his daughter Irma.

Model Village
I expected this to be really tacky, but was actually very informative and accompanied by an impressive array of artifacts.

Trail Town
Trail town is a collection of original wooden cabins that have been taken down, transported here, and rebuilt into a good idea of what an original town in the old west would have looked like.

Cody Night Rodeo
If you haven't seen a rodeo go see this one. The awesome power of the bulls used for bull riding has to be seen for real to be believed.

Yellowstone National Park
Only a short drive to the East entrance to Yellowstone. ${BestWay}
