Another FREE thing to do in Cody. A fantastic exhibit detailing the history of Wyoming surrounded on the perimeter by actual artifacts. It's the owner's personal collection he shares with the rest of us. More

Our 10 year old didn't want to leave. We looked at every detail of this HUGE display over and over. Historic scenes, sound effects and antiques are truly impressive. Don't miss it! More

This is the Tecumseh's Trading Post near the rodeo grounds at the end of town. We stopped in after reading reviews here, and we loved it. We've seen giant miniature displays before (thinking Ft.

This place is incredible. The gentleman who put this together is amazing. He was warm and inviting. He told us the history of the place and his love for the museum. It is a definite must see especially if you have children. The history is just amazing and very informative. More

Very surprised, you have a mans life work & collection on display for a donation. We gave up $5 bucks each, don't be cheap. You can loose yourself for a hour or so easily. Not to be missed & rushed. More
