The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, a facility owned and operated by the City and County of Denver, exists to preserve the memory of William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody. To this end it maintains the Cody gravesite and related structures on Lookout Mountain Park; collects, cares for and interprets artifacts associated with “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s life and times between 1846 and 1917; and records Cody’s ongoing influence on American culture.

Buffalo Bill's grave is in historic Golden, Colorado. Excellent historical info and events for all ages.

The history of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West (formerly the Buffalo Bill Historical Center) starts with Mary Jester Allen, who had a dream. After her famous uncle died in 1917, she envisioned a great national shrine and memorial to both William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody and the early pioneers of the American West. In 1927, she began her quest as curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum, a modest log building in remote Cody, Wyoming, mimicking Buffalo Bill’s TE Ranch house, on the Southfork of the Shoshone River.

Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave includes Old West and Indian artifacts, antique firearms and lots of memorabilia from Buffalo Bill's life and Wild West shows.

Buffalo Bill’s Grave and Museum on Lookout Mountain in Golden is steeped in ghost stories. Some say Buffalo Bill himself haunts the area.
