Sunday (6/14)  We are still in Cody.   There are so many things to do, it is hard to decide what to do next.   We went to Old Trail Town which recreates a mid-to late 1800s town.  It really is authentic looking and has about 30 period buildings including the cabin used by Butch Cassidy and the Hole in the Wall Gang , the hunting cabin of Curly, a famous indian scout that served with Custer,  and an actual saloon.  There are thousands of artifacts on display in a very natural setting making it feel like you are actually in the late 1800s.

Another interesting exhibit was a miniature display containing 7,000 figures depicting a timeline of the conflicts with the plains indians in the 1800s.  This housed in a gift store (I can't remember the name) and is free to see.  They also have an extensive collection of artifacts on display.  

In the afternoon, we went back to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.   To really view this museum, you would have to spend at least two full days.   We started in the firearms section which displays a timeline of the development of guns.  It is difficult to say that a gun is beautiful, but you  have to appreciate the workmanship and quality materials used to make these guns.  There were several thousand revolvers and rifles on display as well as mounted bears, elk, moose, bobcats, etc.  

The last section to view was the Buffalo Bill Cody (BBC) section.  The fifth section, the Whitney Art section was closed for renovations.  The Buffalo Bill Cody section traced his life from childhood to his death.   The museum has a treasure trove of items belonging to BBC.  All of it was very interesting but most colorful were the posters used to advertise his wild west show.   His show employed up to 600 people and performed all over the world including many special performances for royalty.  

This evening we went to the Cody Cattle Company show.   This show included an indian dancer, a western comedian, dinner and a cowboy music review.   The show has only been open two weeks but was very good.   The food was excellent and was an all you-can-eat affair.  We met a couple from Australia and spent a very pleasant evening visiting with them.
