A friend told us we had to see this museum. We changed our plans and went to Cody and we were not disappointed. It was so good we changed our plans again to visit a second day. There is nothing like this anywhere. The town of Cody is also a treat to visit and the beautiful land around it was another treat.

"Stopped in Cody on our way home from Yellowstone. Saw the Museum while looking for a hotel. Stayed an extra day to visit the museum, could have stayed three extra days between the artwork and the firearms. If you are ever close it is worth the drive."

"We had read reviews by others and just want to say that they were right. You really could spend 2 days in this museum. A great collection and well worth the time. And remember that it is only around 50 miles from the Eastern entrance of Yellowstone."
