On the original site of Cody, now stands a recreated road in the Old West. They moved old buildings to this site and re-assembled them. The coolest part of this place is the authenticity of the buildings. They aren't reproductions of the original buildings; they are the original buildings. Some of them were cabins that the Hole in the Wall Gang used to hide; you know, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. One of them was an old school building with desks and a wall size reader in the corner. The graveyard has the actual remains of 5-6 men from that area. They re-buried them in this location. One of them is the guy from Jeremiah Johnson, a Robert Redford movie.
Once again, Steve had a blast. He loves Old West history!
We finished our Cody visit by 11am and were on our way to Texas!
