Field Trip-Buffalo Bill's Grave and Museum

Two weeks ago we went to Buffalo Bill's Grave and Museum.



Born in 1846, William F. Cody experienced the Old West to its fullest. He herded cattle, worked on a wagon train, mined for gold, rode in the Pony Express, and scouted for the Army. His skill as a buffalo hunter gained him the nickname "Buffalo Bill." Buffalo Bill's Wild West shows traveled the world leaving a lasting vision of the American West.

Though Buffalo Bill provided the troops with Buffalo from his hunt, he didn't like that Buffalo were being hunted for just their skins. He became very oustpoken against the atrocities against the buffalo.





It was REALLY HOT that day so after the museum, we briefly visited the grave and didn't stay long. This pregnant body can't take it! LOL The girls loved the play area with the horse and calf they can rope, but I'm sure it will be a few years before they really understand about Buffalo Bill.
