Lacy J. Dalton will kick off this new concert series with a performance at the Cody Theatre on January 24. Tickets are $20.00 and available at the Cody Chamber office. Popular performer TG Sheppard will perform February 28 and March will feature the amazing Mel Tillis.  The caliber of talent that the Cody Wild West Show has scheduled would typically be seen in Branson or other, larger cities.

If you’re visiting Cody, Wyoming, then one place that you must visit is the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. This is the place to find out everything about the town’s founder and the history of the area. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center incorporates several museums.

The Buffalo Bill Museum looks at the personal and public lives of William Frederick Cody, Buffalo Bill. Find out about cowboys, dude ranching, life on the frontier and the Wild West. There’s information about Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show which ran for 30 years and traveled around the world. William Cody was also famed as a hunter, so it’s fitting that the Cody Firearms Museum houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of American firearms.

You can’t look at the history of the West without considering the Plains Indians. The Plains Indian Museum charts the traditions, cultures, lives and histories of the Plains Indians then and now. Most of the collection consists of artifacts from the Cheyenne, Shoshone, Crow, Arapaho and Lakota from the 1880-1930 period.

Other museums within the Buffalo Bill Historical Center are the Whitney Gallery of Western Art. This museum has a wide range of works by respected artists. It’s currently closed for refurbishment and will reopen in June 2009. However, a temporary gallery is open on the lower level. The Draper Museum of Natural History opened in 2002 with the aim of presenting a wider perspective on the American West.
