Cody, Wyoming

Well onto the other side of Big Horn – we are in a vast (seems to me, anyway!) Prairie.  LOTS of Sage Brush.  undulating hills with some cattle, goats, horses, occasional oil wells, grass.  Space – with images of mountains ahead.  We decided to stop in Cody before heading into Yellowstone.  No expectations – but then a dear friend mentioned there is this museum.  Why not? So, turns out it is a fabulous museum – the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.   It really consists of several museums under one gorgeous roof – one of the most beautiful museums I’ve ever seen. The Natural History Museum is structured in a gently rising circuitous design – with each level dedicated to the seven ecoregions found in Wyoming.

Sounds of native birds, wolves, fabulous exhibits of underground structures created by Prairie Dogs, Eagle nests, a tutorial on wildlife in this part of the world – all in an exquisitely designed structure.

There is a special exhibit of the great sculptor Remington which is based on the actual studio from New Rochelle New York, where he did so much of his  best work.

We were fortunate to be here to see a visiting exhibit of Albert Bierstadt and many of his best works featuring Western themes.

There is a wing dedicated to Buffalo Bill, the Plains Indian, and Firearms.  The exhibits are glorious – but truly, the setting of this magnificent building is the master frame for the art.  Worth a day.

 

 

 

 

And after indulging in the musem, a nice walk in the beautiful city park was  in order- a lush carpet of soft green grass, a fantastic amphitheater, miniature golf, picnic tables and pavilions, all among spectacular spruce and cottonwood trees.  The City has this feeling of being loved, well tended and maintained.  Alkali and Beck  Lakes run next to the main road, one of which is a breeding ground for many birds, some migrating – including the White Pelican and Loon.  Lovely City buildings and charming homes, beautiful schools, nice restaurants, and a rodeo every night!  What a great City.
