Old Trail Town

Located on the original town site of Cody City, the Old Trail Town collection consists of 26 buildings, which date from 1879 to 1901. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana, these historic buildings were disassembled, moved to the new site, and reassembled at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends.

Grave site of Jeremiah Johnson (1824-1900)

The grave of Jeremiah Johnson was relocated to Old Trial Town on June 8, 1974; over 2,000 people attended the reburial service (they say, this was probably the largest burial service in the history of Wyoming).
