Help Preserve the Spirit of the American West
At the Buffalo Bill Historical Center...
The Little family of Port Angeles, Washington visit one of our tipis. They shared this photograph on Flicker.
...we're celebrating the Spirit of the American West!
It took special people to settle the American West--people of vision and courage with strong values and beliefs. This uniquely American story starts with the land and its first peoples, and extends through the centuries to the present day—western experiences that refine the spirit of our nation.
Since 1917, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center has been committed to the greatness and growth of the American West—keeping those western experiences alive for today's visitors and those in the future. Just as William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody "took the West to the world," we've taken on the challenge of bringing the West to you.
Come celebrate the Spirit of the American West with us, and discover the West of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Plan your visit today!
