Cody Firearms Museum

[The Goose]

I just got back last night from my vacation. We spent 3 days in Cody Wyoming, 3 days in Yellowstone, 3 days on Jackson Lake in the Grand Tetons and 2 days in Jackson Hole. I cannot even begin to describe how breathtakingly beautiful these places are.

Right off the bat we got a 2 day pass to the Buffalo Bill Cody museum, which is actually 5 sperate museums. The Firearms Museum, a Plains Indians museum, natural history museum, western art museum and a museum dedicated to the life of Bill Cody.

I spent most of the first day in the firearms museum. They have over 6,000 firerarms, but only 2,700 were on display. On day two I went back and took some photos. Frankly it was overwhelming and I could only do my best to get some representative shots. I hope you guys enjoy them.

This thread should contain a Gun Porn/Your gonna want to go to Wyoming warning. Nice pics Goose, looks like a place most of us could spend all day in.

The curator had some time as I went on a weekday and he took down the Bazookas and gave me hands on training in loading and firing the differnt types.

Scary to think that they had to stand in front of a tank only a few yards away to use these back in WWII

Admission is Free!

Looks very interesting.

At first I thought it was pictures from Fred's collection!

I thought the same thing at first, but there weren't enough firearms in the collection!

Necro-thread: The museum shut down for nine months and did a complete remodel and reorganization.

Also: the curator is Not Guilty.

I would highly recommend. I’d also stay in BIG TIMBER! Or red lodge the night before heading down to Cody after flying in to gods country.
