About Buffalo Bill Cody Room 201

Buffalo Bill Cody, also known as William Frederick Cody, was born in 1846 in LeClaire, Iowa and left his home at the tender age of eleven. He tried his hand at many trades through the west, such as herding cattle, driving a wagon train, fur trapping, gold mining, scouting for the Army, and even as a rider for the Pony Express. His exploits prepared him well for his career in show business.

He began to show the world a slice of the Wild West in 1872 with his acting debut in "The Scouts of the Prairie." He continued in various renditions of shows depicting the life of the frontier until he conceived the "Wild West" show that made him famous. This show was designed on a grand scale to entertain and educate with hundreds of actors and live animals. At one point, the show cost $4000 a day to produce. The "Wild West" show included many skills that would later become standard competitions at rodeos, a representation of Native Americans and their culture, and the largest collection of buffalo ever assembled.

Staying in Room 201, the Buffalo Bill Cody Room, allows you to immerse yourself in the life and times of this iconic figure. The room's overall finish, furnishings, art, artifacts, and exhibit will transport you to the Wild West and give you a glimpse into the life of Buffalo Bill.
