More Cody Wyoming

Yesterday afternoon, we went to Old Trail Town.  This is a collection of historic buildings that had been taken apart and reassembled to form this town.

       

   

This the grave site of Jeremiah Johnson.  We learned that Jeremiah Johnson died in Los Angeles. Actually I think it was Lancaster, Ca which is in LA county. He was ill and went there to an old soldiers home.  He died there and was buried in a veterans cemetery.  When they wanted to put a road through the cemetery, they started trying to find out who would be interested in moving his body.  The children from the area where at the burial along with Robert Redford who played Jeremiah Johnson in the movie.    There are some other graves that have been moved to the town, but his is the best. 

Today we went to Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Very nice museum, but it is huge!  The admission can be used for 2 days and if we had known that ahead of time, we would have gone yesterday and today.  There is actually 6 different areas.  We toured 3 of them, Buffalo Bill, Draper Natural History and the Plains Indian.

             

We also sat and watched another show with Rapter Birds. 

                       

It was a very interesting day.  This museum is a must see.  But do it in 2 days!!

Tomorrow we are moving on to Little Big Horn.
