Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave, Golden, Colorado, United States, North America
William Frederick Buffalo Bill Cody (February 26, 1846 - January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), in Le Claire but lived several years in Canada before his family moved to the Kansas Territory. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for service to the US Army as a scout. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States. William Frederick Cody (Buffalo Bill) got his nickname after the American Civil War when he had a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat. Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,280 American bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eighteen months, (1867--1868). Cody and William Comstock competed in a buffalo-shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name, which Cody won by killing 68 bison to Comstock's 48. Cody had documented service as a soldier during the Civil War and as Chief of Scouts for the Third Cavalry during the Plains Wars. He claimed to have had many jobs, including as a trapper, bullwhacker, Fifty-Niner in Colorado, a Pony Express rider in 1860, wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, and a hotel manager, but historians have had difficulty documenting them, and he may have fabricated some for publicity. He became world famous for his Wild West shows, which toured in Great Britain and Europe. Audiences were enthusiastic about seeing a piece of the American West. The adventure story writer Emilio Salgari met Buffalo Bill in Italy, saw his show, and later featured him as a hero in some of his novels. In 1872, Cody was awarded a Medal of Honor for gallantry in action while serving as a civilian scout for the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. In 1917, the U.S. Army after Congress revised the standards for award of the medal removed from the rolls 911 medals previously awarded either to civilians, or for actions that would not warrant a Medal of Honor under the new higher standards. Among those revoked was Cody's. In 1977, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker's medal was restored, and other reviews began. Cody's medal along with those given to four other civilian scouts was re-instated on June 12, 1989. In 1895, Cody was instrumental in the founding of Cody, the seat of Park County in northwestern Wyoming. The Old Trail Town museum is at the center of the community and honors the traditions of Western life. Cody first passed through the region in the 1870s. He was so impressed by the development possibilities from irrigation, rich soil, grand scenery, hunting, and proximity to Yellowstone Park that he returned in the mid-1890s to start a town. He brought with him associates for whom streets were named: Beck, Alger, Rumsey, Bleistein and Salsbury. The town was incorporated in 1901. In November 1902, Cody opened the Irma Hotel, which he named after his daughter. He envisioned a growing number of tourists coming to Cody via the recently opened Burlington rail line. He expected that they would proceed up the Cody Road along the North Fork of the Shoshone River to visit Yellowstone Park. To accommodate travelers, Cody completed construction of the Wapiti Inn and Pahaska Tepee in 1905 along the Cody Road with the assistance of artist and rancher Abraham Archibald Anderson. Cody also established the TE Ranch, located on the South Fork of the Shoshone River about thirty-five miles from Cody. When he acquired the TE property, he sent cattle from Nebraska and South Dakota. His new herd carried the TE brand. The late 1890s were relatively prosperous years for Buffalo Bill's Wild West, and he bought more land to add to the TE Ranch. Eventually Cody held around 8,000 acres (32 km²) of private land for grazing operations and ran about 1,000 head of cattle. He also operated a dude ranch, pack horse camping trips, and big game hunting business at and from the TE Ranch. In his spacious ranch house, he entertained notable guests from Europe and America. Cody died of kidney failure on January 10, 1917, surrounded by family and friends at his sister's house in Denver. Cody was baptized into the Catholic Church the day before his death by Father Christopher Walsh of the Denver Cathedral.

Buffalo Bill's grave on Lookout Mountain just west of Denver, Colorado
Buffalo Bill's grave sits at an elevation of 7,326 feet (2,232 metres) on Lookout Mountain just west of Golden, Colorado. Not only is it a popular tourist spot but countless bicycles make their way up the winding road for an excellent workout at about 1,600 feet (488 metres) of elevation gain from Golden. Angela, the lady running the Buffalo Bill museum, said they've had cyclists make it to the top in 17 minutes. I wasn't watching closely enough but suspect it took my friends and me well over 45 minutes on this trip...
Pahaska (Pa-Ha-Ska) is the Sioux name for Buffalo BIll - it means Long hair.

Buffalo Bill Comes Home
To learn more visit
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West opened in its current location in 1968. At that time it was called the Buffalo Bill Museum and was right next to the current Whitney Western Art Museum. The Center was large back then, but it still didn't have the Draper Natural History Museum, the Plains Indians Museum, or Cody Firearms Museum.
This film shows an excerpt from a film made at the opening of the new Buffalo Bill back in 1968. We found it inside of the Center's Vaults, and it's been some time since it was last seen. It will likely be brand new to most of you! The hair and dress styles alone make for a wonderful time capsule; the same goes for the timbre and tone of the omniscient Buffalo Bill narrator voice.
Did you know that there used to be a serious conflict over where William F. Cody was buried? Do you remember when it was put to rest in 1968? Was it actually put to rest? Does anyone in Wyoming still harbor resentment over the burial of Buffalo Bill in COLORADO, on Lookout Mountain? Do you have a theory that he's actually not buried there? Feel free to share.
The new Buffalo Bill Museum opened in time for the 2012 summer season. It has been fully re-imagined and re-designed. The re-installed Buffalo Bill Museum respects the traditions of the past while utilizing new interactive and multimedia exhibits with some of the latest technology. The new Buffalo Bill section will wow you, as former Senator Al Simpson said.
It has attractions that will grip and engage every member of your family, and when viewed alongside the 4 other incredible wings of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the answer is clear: this place is worth a visit. The Yellowstone Natural History wing covers all of the science and ecology that anybody ask for, to supplement a trip to Yellowstone National Park. The Plains Indian Cultures wing offers a broad and inside look at the cultures that occupied the West before White Settlers came, and it continues to the current Plains Indian Cultures that are still alive in the West. The Cody Firearms wing has a gigantic collection of firearms that will blow you away, including the impressive Winchester Arms Collection, and more. The Whitney Gallery of Western Art features the artwork of the American West from Master artists such as Remington and Russell.
Cody, WY is located just outside the East Gate to Yellowstone National Park, and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is worth the trip.
