Last, but by no means least, we have Wyoming and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Named after Buffalo Bill – the legendary soldier, bison hunter, and all-round showman – who stands center stage when it comes to discussing the Wild West’s most iconic figures, this attraction consists of five family-friendly museums that explore the story of epic Yellowstone and the historic American West.

Located in Cody, which was founded in 1896 by Buffalo Bill himself (his real name was William F. Cody), there is no better way to delve into an era that will forever be a fixture in the popular imagination. Saddle up, partner.
