Our Centennial
William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was the consummate storyteller and enthusiastic student of history. More than a century ago, as his Wild West played in arenas around the world, Buffalo Bill contemplated his legacy. He dreamed of a new arena that would “teach people by seeing history.” For more than 100 years, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West has nurtured Cody’s dream, teaching and sharing the West he loved. As we enter our second century, his dream continues to shape and define how the Center celebrates the Spirit of the American West.
