What a great museum! I wish you could have spent more time and gone a little slower. We could see even when you thought the lights were dim. Thanks for the tour - it was terrific!! ❤️❤️❤️
The best museum I’ve ever visited. At that time my children were 10, 11 and 14 and they also loved it. To see everything takes all day. If you have the time, well worth it.
Cody is a very impressive city, for only a population of 10,000. They've really expanded that museum from what they had when I last visited a few decades ago. They must have some wealthy benefactors to sustain a museum like that. If you want to see the most outstanding scenic highway in the country, take the Beartooth Scenic Highway (US 212) from Red Lodge MT through the Wyoming mountains to Yellowstone via Cooke City. They had a big flood there in July of 2022 that closed the road for a while so Google doesn't cover it yet, but it's open again now. Thanks for updating me on this area.
That place is one of the most awesome museums I’ve ever been in. Thanks for the second look. Massive gun collection is a real understatement, lol. And the animal taxidermy is world class. Ed: It definitely took me two days to explore it all.
The museum was A W S O M E!!!!!! Thank you so much for the tour. I pray that you are having a great time during this vacation. I know that I enjoy each and every video that you share with me. Some of these places I may never see. So thank you for that. Stay safe and happy adventuring
Your camera picked everything up perfectly. I love that museum last was to Cody was 14 we need to go there my hubby and I Thank you for that. They have the BEST rodeo there
I moved just outside of Billings recently and have a trip planned to see the museum. My friend Bob Munden passed away a few years ago and they have a display there honoring him. The display represents Bob and the love of his life Becky. They traveled the country doing fast draw competitions and exhibitions. Very good, down to eart folks. Safe travels.
Thanks Russ, my son and his wife live in Powell and he works and flies out of Cody. I have never been there so this was a real treat. Really enjoy all of your videos.
1963. , went to Cody after yellow seems like the small square, was all that was there & the musuem was the reason people came . In any direction for 100 miles there was nothing , great being a kid seeing Buffalo Bill stuff . Great videos Thank-you .
Wife and I visited back in the 80's. This video brought back allot of memories...Thanks. Cody was about half the size it is now (actually the museum is too). Very much enjoyed the museum and the tour of the town. We decided we have to go back before we kick the bucket. Thanks for the memories.
Amazing tour! My husband was laughing with your comments about the horse power uber and yellow cab. Again thanks so much for sharing with us. Enjoy your time there.
I agree. I was in Cody a day ago and it is a very likable town. Just enough old and new . Yes,the Buffalo Bill Western Center is one of the most impressive museums that I've ever seen. For $19.75 a person do you get four very well presented museums. You will need at least two days to get through it all and fortunately that is what you get. Two days on one ticket. Don't miss it. Also,the Irma Hotel in the old part of Cody was Buffalo Bill's own hotel and by the looks of it still springs a good meal since it was packed.
You revived an old memory from Cody ,Wyoming. After you left the museum, I saw some land marks on the right that I remembered from fifty years ago. There was a place we stopped for breakfast on the right,before heading to Yellowstone. My father drove the 64 Dodge Van, pulling a small pop up camper! We went a different route,taking US 20 from Casper, through Shoshoni,Thermopolis and Cody. I remember staying in a campground in Shoshoni in August 1970. Met some very interesting people along the way!
Put Devil's Tower on your bucket list. When we moved to CA the route we took was thru Cody into Yellowstone. We went N & around to the W & then S to the Grand Tetons & Jackson Hole. The museum is absolutely amazing! So glad you took us on the tour.
This video is AMAZING! I went there in person, and YOU really showed a lot of detail! It is one of the best museums that I’ve ever been to ! Thanks for sharing this, you did an EXCELLENT job!
The Buffalo Bill Museum is probably the best museum I have ever visited. On my last motocycle trip to Yellowstone, stayed in Cody for a few days and spent a full day and a half exploring the Buffalo Bill Museum and didn’t see it all. Fantastic place!
Thanks for the museum tour Russ, we were in yellowstone in 2016 . wish we drove over to cody and went to that museum. Have to go back now and do that. i:d love to check out the old rifle display. (WOW).
🙋♀️Hello Russ! I love museums! This held my interest, just kept getting better. That was the 1st to see a young almost child in a rodeo picture. So very much to enjoy. I would definitely need a 2nd day to see everything. Awesome!👍
I love going to Cody. Always have to stop by the Irma Hotel to see the huge bar in what is the restaurant now. It is beautiful. Last year we spent 4 days in Cody on our way to Yellowstone on our cross country RV trip. The people at the Ponderosa Campground in Cody were really helpful for our time in Cody.
Very nice, we thought the filming of the Cody Museum turned out very well enjoyed it very much. Thank you Russ, without you we may never have gotten to see this. Larry& Linda
I love Cody! Their museum is amazing. When you get to Yellowstone if you want to see bison/buffalo, drive towards Canyon through Hayden Valley. I also saw a grizzly bear last week just past the Canyon junction going towards Norris. Safe travels Russ!
Cool museum! Didn't know Buffalo Bill owned a 67 GTO!😆 Just kidding! Really well done museum. Would like to visit it in person some day. Can't wait for the next cool trip videos. Take Care Russ!👍😃
Silver Dollar saloon in town, great place for a beer! Benn through here a couple of times and always been good fun! Stayed at the Western Rose both times, great little motel right in town.
Been to that museum several times. I always go to the Gun Collection first. Too see it all would take at least two full days. Looks like you had fun. That wagon you called an RV, was a sheep herders wagon and was most likely pulled by mules. Oh, and I live in Cheyenne.
Another wonderful stop. I hope to go to Yellowstone and would definitely stop at the Museum. Great 👍 trip. See you at the next stop. Wishing you a super week. Stay safe. Hugs Susan
Gosh, that museum sure has changed from when I was there in the late 1980's. I remember there was a huge mural, I wonder if it's still there. The place looks amazing even now.
Wife and I took our two kids thru Yellowstone and into Cody, They loved Cody. This was 25 years ago and fewer tourist amenities. We stayed in a 50s drive in motel. Was swimming with the kids in the little pool when a huge thunderstorm roared thru. Grabbed the kids and ouch running across the crushed rock parking lot kids in my arms was hilarious. Kids loved the 4th of July rodeo so much they wanted to return the next night and the ticket lady remembered us and gave us front row seats. The parade was great with clowns walking the route tossing candy. Are at a dive diner with real cowboys. Kids loved the museum. Perhaps research a bit the area or town you visit or cruise through. The Hotel Irma you passed had real colorful history. It’s a beautiful drive going into the east entrance. Enjoy.
Glad I get to ride along with you, especially when you go into the park. Every time I go on that road I'm reminded that I am actually going over the edge of a real volcano, hence the 'mountains', Then you drop down into the caldera, which is huge (the main part of Yellowstone),
The wife and our son went to the McDonald's when it first opened. 40 miles away from our house. That's a great place to visit. Buffalo Bill resovoire is great to see. The dam was raised 30 ft. Go to the Irma hotel.
I’m from Duluth Minnesota. And there’s a street called Cody in the West Duluth area and a house there that Buffalo Bill Cody lived in for a spell. He had some business there at one time
This video popped up on my UA-cam feed for some reason. Before I read the title I thought "hey, that looks like the museum"... I live in Cody (well, about 7 miles from town). It is a glorious place to live and raise a family (we have 4 kids at home). We usually get to visit the museum for free once or twice a year. They hold a few free days, including one around Christmas time. Cody is so full of History! So many things to do and see, many of these aren't even advertised as "tourist attractions". Cody is definitely The West! Not too shabby being close to Yellowstone, either ;).
THE IRMA HOTEL IN CODY WAS NAMED AFTER BUFFALO BILL'S DAUGHTER AND USED TO HAVE A SILVER SADDLE IN A WINDOW THERE. THERE WAS A NIGHT RODEO EVERY NIGHT THAT HELPED A LOT OF YOUNG RIDERS GET STARTED. THE TOWN WAS NAMED AFTER BUFFALO BILL
If you ever find yourself in Kansas City, you should check out the World War I National Museum. There were some aspects in the Cody museum that made me think of it. 👍🏻. I think you’d really enjoy it. Very well done.
There's a huge shotgun in a museum in Worcester MA. It was used for hunting flocks of ducks at a time from a boat. The barrel is nearly as long as the boat so to aim it they had to turn the boat. It was eventually outlawed because ducks were becoming rare.
Great museum used by writers of western novels to research weapons of the western frontier from the thousands the museum has in inventory. Nice video, thanks for posting ~ from Texas.
You’ll have to travel to Thermopolis and visit their dinosaur museum...It has some great displays..You can watch them working on new bones that they have found...,
What a great museum! I wish you could have spent more time and gone a little slower. We could see even when you thought the lights were dim. Thanks for the tour - it was terrific!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for showcasing my awesome town! You will love the drive up to the east entrance. Way more scenic than the other entrances but I'm biased. 😁
That place is one of the most awesome museums I’ve ever been in. Thanks for the second look. Massive gun collection is a real understatement, lol. And the animal taxidermy is world class.

Amazing how well the people dressed back in those days. No t-shirts and shorts, Wow. Amazing Museum, thanks Russ.
Your camera picked everything up perfectly.
I love that museum last was to Cody was 14 we need to go there my hubby and I Thank you for that. They have the BEST rodeo there
What a nice treat to watch on a Friday night, thanks Russ!
Julie Smith you got that right. I've been to Wyoming but not there. This is definitely on my list of things to do.
I moved just outside of Billings recently and have a trip planned to see the museum. My friend Bob Munden passed away a few years ago and they have a display there honoring him.

I'm glad you were able to get into the museum in Cody. That is a very impressive Museum it does take a lot of time to really get through it.

That was a great introduction to the museum. I've GOT to visit there! Thanks for the video, as usual.

The museum is absolutely amazing! So glad you took us on the tour.
Russ, you should stop at Old Trail Town on the west side of Cody as you head to Yellowstone. It is a fantastic place to visit. Very interesting.
Next time I visit the U.S. I'm visiting the Buffalo Bill Museum, what a majestic landscape.
This video is AMAZING! I went there in person, and YOU really showed a lot of detail! It is one of the best museums that I’ve ever been to ! Thanks for sharing this, you did an EXCELLENT job!

Wonderful museum. Hope to see it again. Cant see it in one day.
Thanks for the museum tour Russ, we were in yellowstone in 2016 . wish we drove over to cody and went to that museum. Have to go back now and do that. i:d love to check out the old rifle
display. (WOW).
The museum has the best gun collection ever.
To me that's the best part.
Those two in the beginning of the video are awesome!!!!
🙋♀️Hello Russ! I love museums! This held my interest, just kept getting better. That was the 1st to see a young almost child in a rodeo picture. So very much to enjoy. I would definitely need a 2nd day to see everything. Awesome!👍
Very good video. Loved museum and anxious to see Yellowstone! Thank you !
What a great place thanks for showing us.
Looked to be a 1967 Pontiac Tempest. The little 326 cu. in. would scoot it right along but most of the car crowd went for the 389 3-Duece setup.
One of the great museums, the bead in the Plains museum is amazing.
I love going to Cody. Always have to stop by the Irma Hotel to see the huge bar in what is the restaurant now. It is beautiful. Last year we spent 4 days in Cody on our way to Yellowstone on our cross country RV trip. The people at the Ponderosa Campground in Cody were really helpful for our time in Cody.
Thanks again Russ. Actually that museum was on my list to go to this fall but you beat me to it. As always, excellent video and narration.
Outstanding videos- Virtual Vacation indeed it is - be safe
Very nice, we thought the filming of the Cody Museum turned out very well
enjoyed it very much.
Thank you Russ, without you we may never have gotten to see this.
Larry& Linda
Wow its changed a lot sence i was there last.... Like 1979.. Lol. I was 17 or 18 ... Lived in graybull wyo and gillette
Enjoy the museum tours
So once you get around Wapiti Wyoming, start looking for Elk..there's a big heard that likes to hang out in the area. Right hand side of the road..
I would like to see you travel through Montana, I lived in Helena many years ago,would like to see the changes, I live in Virginia now!
I love Cody! Their museum is amazing. When you get to Yellowstone if you want to see bison/buffalo, drive towards Canyon through Hayden Valley. I also saw a grizzly bear last week just past the Canyon junction going towards Norris. Safe travels Russ!
Thanks for the tour. There was far more there to see than I expected. Very nice. I like to visit one day.
Cool museum! Didn't know Buffalo Bill owned a 67 GTO!😆 Just kidding! Really well done museum. Would like to visit it in person some day. Can't wait for the next cool trip videos. Take Care Russ!👍😃
too funny
Silver Dollar saloon in town, great place for a beer! Benn through here a couple of times and always been good fun! Stayed at the Western Rose both times, great little motel right in town.
I would love to visit that museum. Hopefully one day. Thanks Russ.
Thanks Russ for adding more things to see on my bucket list!

Very thorough view of an impressive museum. I could see spending two full days exploring there.
On to Yellowstone!
Another wonderful stop. I hope to go to Yellowstone and would definitely stop at the Museum. Great 👍 trip. See you at the next stop. Wishing you a super week. Stay safe. Hugs Susan
A great museum. We spent two full days there.
Great museum thanks for the tour, nice job showing what you could, 👍👍👍
Looks like a great museum to visit ..
Gosh, that museum sure has changed from when I was there in the late 1980's. I remember there was a huge mural, I wonder if it's still there. The place looks amazing even now.
THANKS
Hey Russ!!! Great "little" Town!! This is a very "relaxing" part of your "JOURNEY" !!! Be Safe !!!

I’m about a week behind you. I’m heading that way the first week of September. Love your videos, and the fact that they are so current.
Be glad you're up north, Russ. Lake Havasu City has been 115°F lately.
Great job videoing the museum. Can’t wait to go there!👍👍👋❤️
This was a great tour! Thank you for your awesome videos! ❤️
Been there several times. Love the area and that museum is awesome!
Very interesting. You did a good job. The video was good. Be safe!
Very good job at the museum , stay safe thx for the trip 💕😊
Enjoying the Summer Road Trip Russ! Thank you!
Glad I get to ride along with you, especially when you go into the park. Every time I go on that road I'm reminded that I am actually going over the edge of a real volcano, hence the 'mountains', Then you drop down into the caldera, which is huge (the main part of Yellowstone),
The wife and our son went to the McDonald's when it first opened. 40 miles away from our house. That's a great place to visit. Buffalo Bill resovoire is great to see. The dam was raised 30 ft. Go to the Irma hotel.
Russ, I call it the RVerTv Winging it Tour 2020 and so far you have been winging it good. I love Buffalo Bill Museum ,on to Yellowstone yay!😊
Thank you for a terrific video. Add Cody to my bucket list!
Thanks for sharing this video,.I was there and I enjoyed it.
I know now. I have got to go there. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I’m from Duluth Minnesota. And there’s a street called Cody in the West Duluth area and a house there that Buffalo Bill Cody lived in for a spell. He had some business there at one time
Glad to be with you virtually.
I'm sure you'll stop at one of the lodges in Yellowstone or near Jackson. Get some great interior pictures. That was a neat museum.
This video popped up on my UA-cam feed for some reason. Before I read the title I thought "hey, that looks like the museum"... I live in Cody (well, about 7 miles from town).

THE IRMA HOTEL IN CODY WAS NAMED AFTER BUFFALO BILL'S DAUGHTER AND USED TO HAVE A SILVER SADDLE IN A WINDOW THERE. THERE WAS A NIGHT RODEO EVERY NIGHT THAT HELPED A LOT OF YOUNG RIDERS GET STARTED. THE TOWN WAS NAMED AFTER BUFFALO BILL
The rodeo still goes on every night during the summer. Also the bar in the Irma was a gift from a prince when he came for a hunting trip
If you ever find yourself in Kansas City, you should check out the World War I National Museum. There were some aspects in the Cody museum that made me think of it. 👍🏻. I think you’d really enjoy it. Very well done.
I got to see old faithful I came through the south entry of Yellowstone after being in grand teton national park
Really has changed. Used to have the largest Winchester collection in America
Very cool Russ 😎
There's a huge shotgun in a museum in Worcester MA. It was used for hunting flocks of ducks at a time from a boat. The barrel is nearly as long as the boat so to aim it they had to turn the boat. It was eventually outlawed because ducks were becoming rare.
Anyone remember the"passenger pigeons"?Hunters wiped them out.
This is absolutely fascinating, I would love to see all this for real!
Looks Amazing! Loved the Video.Thanks.
That’s some place I want to visit someday thanks for the tour
awesome museum, thanks Russ.
So jealous! We are planning a trip because of your vlog amazing! Ty
Great museum used by writers of western novels to research weapons of the western frontier from the thousands the museum has in inventory. Nice video, thanks for posting ~ from Texas.
You’ll have to travel to Thermopolis and visit their dinosaur museum...It has some great displays..You can watch them working on new bones that they have found...,
Amazing video! Thank you very much!!!
I would love to ride in that stagecoach.
Largest gun museum is the Chattanooga National Battlefield Museum.
It has an absolutely amazing gun collection. You have to see it to believe it
Good job on the video I believe you could spend two or three days in there looking around.
Thank you , great work.
Russ, in your exploring of Wyoming. If you had to pick a town to live in as a person retiring, what's on your short list.
That was an amazing museum.
Comes in one horsepower, or two! LOL!😂🤣😂🤣
The Irma Hotel had the best buffalo rib buffet. You get a free wild west show to boot.
Boy has that place changed since 77 to 87.
