Experience a tangible piece of Wild West history at the Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park. Visit to learn about the life of William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, see authentic 19th-century farming artifacts and enjoy the pleasant park landscapes. Explore the 19th-century estate founded by Buffalo Bill, a buffalo hunter and scout who became a globally recognised name. His path to fame was his creation of the Wild West-themed “Old Glory Blowout” show, which toured America and Europe between 1882 and 1916\. These performances of horse-riding and cow-wrangling skills are thought to have birthed the modern American rodeo. Step back into a time of cowboys and Native Americans at the Scout’s Rest Ranch State Historical Park. Wander this 16-acre (6.5-hectare) estate to see Buffalo Bill’s stately manor, built in 1886 during the heyday of his Wild West show. Inspect interiors decorated with authentic 19th-century furniture and Cody family memorabilia. In the movie room, see a film detailing the events of Buffalo Bill’s life. Around the house, admire a large barn where Buffalo Bill kept his thoroughbred horses and Hereford cattle. It was in the surrounding paddocks that he kept his renowned Hereford bull, Earl Horace. Notice the horse-drawn wagons and buggies placed around the estate, which give it an authentic Wild West feel. Adjacent to Buffalo Bill’s ranch is the Buffalo Bill State Recreation Area, a 233-acre (94-hectare) nature reserve of rivers, paddocks and rolling countryside. Hike through the scenic landscape and enjoy the rejuvenating fresh air. Take a picnic and share a meal with views of grazing bison herds. Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park is a 10-minute drive west of North Platte. Take a guided tour for a particularly educational experience of the grounds. The ranch is open on weekdays and has an admission fee. ### Popular places to visit ![Yellow train engines at Union Pacific's Bailey Railroad Yards, North Platte, Nebraska, the worlds largest classification railroad yard](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532648666/2fd4e9f4-9991-4d44-be65-81a0a19d0e64.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Union Pacific Railroad Bailey Yard Find out about the history of North Platte when you spend time at Union Pacific Railroad Bailey Yard.
