Old Trail Town

Old Trail Town See the West as it really was! On this site in 1895, Western scout and showman William F.
(267)

("Buffalo Bill") Cody laid out the original townsite of Cody, Wyoming, which was named in his honor. Today Old Trail Town preserves the lifestyle and history of the Frontier West through a rare collection of authentic structures and furnishings. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana these historic buildings were carefully disassembled, moved and reassembled here at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends. Located here also are thousands of historic artifacts from the Old West and grave sites of several notable Western figures. Among the is the grave of mountain man John Johnson, who was portrayed by the actor Robert Redford in the 1972 motion picture "Jeremiah Johnson".

We are working on several projects currently.
I've already mentioned a few: reroofing two of our cabins, outstanding work by Dan Snow's High Country Roofing team and chinking the Rice Ranch Commissary, soon to the Marshal's Office, by Justin Peters Restoration.
Midwest Fence Company, third generation Roes family owned, is installing a security fence around Old Trail Town. This is a much-needed step in upgrading our security efforts.
Excellent Cody-based business partners.
