Go behind the scenes with Vault Tours at the Cody Firearms Museum and the McCracken Research Library at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. These exclusive, small group experiences lead you beyond public galleries into secured spaces where firearms, archives, and rare artifacts are preserved, studied, and safeguarded. Your journey begins among remarkable arms on display, then continues into non public corridors and climate controlled vaults holding prototypes, seldom seen pieces, and stories of craftsmanship and innovation. Guests may handle select objects with provided gloves under expert guidance, gaining a tangible connection to history. The tour also opens the doors to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company Records, revealing photographs, ledgers, and documents that illuminate how the American West was shaped. Space is limited each day for security and conservation, making reservations essential.
