Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park - North Platte, Nebraska

North Platte was home of the man who made the Wild West world-renowned. No one figure personifies the frontier spirit better than William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, the West’s most colorful showman, army scout and buffalo hunter.

Cody’s elegant Victorian house, built in 1886, and huge barn wit on 25 acres of what was originally a 4,000-acre spread that Cody called Scout’s Rest Ranch.

The barn, built in 1886, now features Wild West Show memorabilia, original posters, and a movie made of film clips taken at the time the show was touring throughout the United States and Europe.
