Buffalo Bill Museum


Ok, so I wasn’t going to write an entire blog about one museum, but we had fun and I took alot of pictures to show my family.The picture above is looking out the front of the museum.
On Monday we, Laura the DTS leader, Danielle and I went to Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody.It is huge! Someone once called it the Smithsonian of the West, and no Mom it wasn't me.
The gun collection alone has 2000 firearms, many from famous showmen, movie stars and presidents.
This is the sweet little gun I want...cause it's pretty...

In the picture below see how little it is?

They had a HUGE collection of stuffed animals...none of which I would object to hanging on my wall..don't worry I just included the fun ones...

Isn't he cute?

A Yak...I think....

Wally the Walrus (Clever name huh?)

Buffalo Bill's Gun named Lucretia Borgia
Ok so enough guns...the next part of the museum was dedicated to the preservation of Indian culture....
Can I have this Bear claw necklace, please?

I never realized how long the headdresses were.

The Native American Part of the Museum was amazing, but I was so busy looking at it all I didn't take many pictures..whew right?
The last part was all about Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show.

This original poster, which takes up the ENTIRE side a wall, cost a whopping 4 dollars to print back in the day.
Here is his original jacket...

Ok,I am tired. I was up til 2 this morning (more on THAT tomorrow) so a few last pictures to finish up.
Things you wouldn't find in Buffalo Bill's House, but were neat just the same.


Cool foosball table right boys?
Look at this house it open into a desk...hmmm if only I knew a painter...

Sorry that is post is long, but consider yourself lucky...if I didn't have to go to bed there is no telling how long it would be...
Night!
