History Trippin' 

We returned to the Historical Center the next morning and started with the Plains Indian Museum, a great display full of interactive audiovisual programs.  We walked through tepees, sat in a Plains Indian house, and experienced the Seasons of Life gallery.  From there we went to check out the Buffalo Bill Museum with its covered wagons and stagecoaches and posters from Buffalo Bill's Wild, Wild West.  We capped off our visit in the Draper Museum of Natural History, and it was probably our favorite stop. 

The Draper Museum of Natural History is circular and as you wind your way through the floors you explore the Yellowstone ecosystem by elevation.  Make sure you pick up a Greater Yellowstone Adventure Passport and locate all of the stamps in the museum.  Discover the wildlife of the area, the vegetation, and the challenges at each elevation change.  We also discussed natural force like fires and avalanches. 

This, along with the Cody Nite Rodeo, is the main must-see in Cody.  Don’t miss it.  It’s packed full of information and there’s something for everyone.  Art, animals, firearms, ancient cultures. (Pictures in the Gallery)
