Old Trail Town

About

See the West as it really was!

Story

On this site in 1895, Western scout and showman William F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody laid out the original townsite of Cody, Wyoming, which was named in his honor. Today Old Trail Town preserves the lifestyle and history of the Frontier West through a rare collection of authentic structures and furnishings. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana these historic buildings were carefully disassembled, moved and reassembled here at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends.

Located here also are thousands of historic artifacts from the Old West and grave sites of several notable Western figures. Among the is the grave of mountain man John Johnson, who was portrayed by the actor Robert Redford in the 1972 motion picture "Jeremiah Johnson".

Great historical stop. Just like 1880 town in S.D., these are buildings mostly brought here from other places. Hole in the Wall saloon...WOW. My girls loved it and so did mom/dad. So much to see in the way of artifacts, layouts, etc. Will stop again.

We enjoyed touring this little western town. There is lots of interesting history and artifacts. We had a 5 year old with us and she loved trying to lasso the bull horns. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the Cody Wyoming area.

I definitely recommend this place. We were traveling from Yellowstone's east gate and wanted something fun to do in Cody. We had seen this place from the road and decided to check it out. The price was reasonable and they gave us a military discount. The pictures at this place all but take themselves. It's so easy to take pictures you'll love to have for years. Not only is the town picturesque, but you have the opportunity to learn so much about the real old west. It made me love Wyoming even more than I already do!

Very interesting to learn more about the old west way of life and see the actual buildings that the people lived in back in the 1800's. These buildings were taken apart from nearby locations, moved and reconstructed. Tons of artifacts on display that were really cool! It is a must see when visiting Cody, WY.
