Support a "new" Buffalo Bill Museum!

On May 19, 2012, visitors will encounter an American icon, William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, in an entirely new way. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center will proudly open a brand “new” Buffalo Bill Museum after a complete renovation and redesign. Through authentic artifacts, state-of-the-art exhibits, engaging inter-actives, and a compelling story about the life and legacy of William F. Cody, the “new” Buffalo Bill Museum will truly become a museum of the twenty-first century.
