Buffalo Bill, famous Westerner and a symbol of the American West, was buried on our site in 1917. The museum was opened in 1921 to tell the story of Buffalo Bill's life and times. Exhibits in the museum include memorabilia from Buffalo Bill himself, ranging from firearms to saddles, as well as artifacts from the West and his Wild West shows. Exhibits deal with such topics as Buffalo Bill's early hunting and scouting years, the Wild West and his relationship to the Indians. Videos and sound repeaters include original footage and music from the Wild West shows. Interactive areas offer an opportunity to try on cowboy clothes, rope a horse (made of fiberglass), and discover if Buffalo Bill visited your town. The site occupies 65 acres with a spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains and the Plains. There are picnic facilities plus Colorado's largest museum gift shop, including a cafe offering buffalo entrees.
