Great Museum in a Small Town
See more of our museum online at
The first reaction most people have when they see the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is awe at how surprisingly large and impressive it is for a museum in a small Western town far from urban centers. How did such a large museum end up in Cody, Wyoming?
Cody, Wyoming is located on Routes 14, 20, and 16 out to Yellowstone National Park. We are just 50 miles outside of the East Gate.
It all started when the town founder, William F. Buffalo Bill Cody, passed away in 1917. The people in the town wanted to create something to memorialize him. They started the Buffalo Bill Historical Society, but that was only the beginning!
The Wyoming State Legislature designated $5,000 dollars toward the construction of a museum in honor of Buffalo Bill. The original Buffalo Bill Museum was impressive and wonderful, but it was quite a bit smaller than the current facility.
Meanwhile, many people in the town wanted a statue to honor their founder. Through useful connections, town members managed to contact Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, a famous artist and heiress. As it turned out, she always had a great deal of interest in Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill had many fans, especially since he was quite possibly one of the most famous men in the world at the turn of the 20th century.
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney came with her son C.V. Whitney in 1923 in order to survey the site for a new statue that would become the centerpiece of the town. That statue is now known as Buffalo Bill--the Scout.
The town of Cody imagined that the statue would go in the center of town, but Mrs. Vanderbilt Whitney thought the statue deserved a grander backdrop that included scenic views of the mountains. She purchased 40 acres of land for the statue.
It wasn't until 1959 that C.V. Whitney came back to Cody and intended to create a museum to honor his mother. He donated $250,000 and founded the Whitney Gallery of Western Art. $250,000 dollars is certainly a large sum of money in present day; however, it was was a staggering amount in 1959.
This event was the beginning of the current Buffalo Bill Center of the West. In 1969, after it became clear that the Buffalo Bill Museum didn't have enough room to house all of their incredible artifacts, and with the completion of the Whitney Gallery of Western Art, the Buffalo Bill Museum moved into the same building as the Whitney and formed the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West has expanded many times over the years and now holds five incredible galleries, all focused on different aspects of the American West. The five major topics of each gallery are Western American art, the culture of the Plains Indian peoples, Buffalo Bill and western history, firearms, and the natural history of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
We would love to have you visit on your way in or out of Yellowstone National Park; we're located on the same road that goes to the East Gate of Yellowstone--less than an hour from our front door!
There is something for everyone here. Come explore!

Iris Scott (b.1984) is a finger painting artist, and the worldʼs leader of this exciting new revolution in oil painting.
Her official website is
Over 100,000 fans follow her work on social media: Facebook.com/irisfingerpaintings and
Instagram.com/irisscottart
She wears surgical gloves, and owns over 100 different colors of oils which she squeezes directly onto her finger tips and then applies to the canvas.
Iris is not the first artist to finger paint, but she is the first to be an exclusive finger painter. No artist in history has ever taken finger painting this far.
Her unorthodox way of oil painting has started a movement of people worldwide to try finger painting as adults. She has a free instructional video on her website workshops
Her book Finger Painting Weekend Workshop (Available on Amazon) helps beginners dive into this therapeutic way of making art.
Her originals sell between $7 and $30k, depending on size. She has been a full time artist since 2011 and now lives in Brooklyn NY. Not everyone can afford originals so Iris is happy to also make available affordable canvas and paper prints, which can be found under each image on her website by clicking the “buy prints” button.
Iris Scott prints are so popular that she she is the best selling licensed artist on iCanvas.com
Iris supplies her four US galleries with original finger paintings on canvas year-round. The galleries are located in San Francisco, San Diego, Jackson WY, and Aspen CO.
Her corporate clients have included Microsoft, CocaCola, and Childrenʼs Hospital.
Iris began finger painting in 2010, when she ran out of clean brushes and didnʼt want to pause her painting to go clean up. Finger painting proved more tactile and Iris was astounded to discover in 2010 that no artist had yet thrown themselves into just painting with fingertips.
Prior to finger painting as a career, Iris dabbled in every medium she could get her hands on. Her early years and college years were spent studying fundamental skills, including realistic oil brush painting.
Finger painting has advantages over paint brushes: clean up is swift and easy, now she can switch colors quickly. Paint brushes have bristles which are difficult to clean, but paint comes right off of gloved hands with a paper towel. Also with five points of contact rather than one, Iris can paint five times faster than when she used to use brushes. Scooping paint and carving thick oil also proves less difficult with fingertips because the sensitivity of a finger is finer than a paint brush. “I can feel all the tiny nuanced of the paint,” says Iris.
Education: Iris studied art in college, earning a BFA from Washington State University. She took one year as a junior to study Renaissance Masters in Florence Italy at a small Art/Fashion school called Academia Italiana.
Irisʼ main artistic role models have been: Monet, Sargent, Van Gogh, Picasso, Khalo, Dali, and Sorolla.
Iris chooses to live in New York so she has access to the best art museums in the country. She is passionate about Egypt and megalithic pyramids. Iris travels several times annually to distant
countries to study ancient art and to see original paintings up close.
Iris grew up outside of Seattle, WA on a small hippie farm with two stay at home parents. Her mother a piano teacher, and her father a cabinet maker. With her younger sister, the family owned countless pets and pairs of farm animals. Irisʼs childhood was quintessential, magical, and imaginative. She was encouraged from an early age to practice her craft like her parents modeled.

U.S. officials are pulverizing more than six tons of confiscated ivory tusks, carvings and jewelry t
U.S. officials are pulverizing more than six tons of confiscated ivory tusks, carvings and jewelry, the bulk of the U.S. blood ivory stockpile, to support the fight against a $10 billion global trade that slaughters tens of thousands of African elephants each year.
Officials on Thursday will use rock crushers to grind up the stockpile, accumulated over the past 25 years, at the National Wildlife Property Repository just north of Denver. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will donate the crushed ivory particles to a museum to be determined for future display.
Service officials showed off thousands of ivory tusks, statues, ceremonial bowls, masks and ornaments being destroyed _ a collection they said was amassed with the killings of more than 2,000 adult elephants. The items were seized from smugglers, traders and tourists at U.S. ports of entry after a global ban on the ivory trade went into effect in 1989.
``What is striking to me is the lengths that some commercial importers and smugglers will go to conceal their ivory _ everything from staining it with colors to covering it with leather, said Fish and Wildlife Special Agent Steve Oberholtzer. The stakes are high in the ivory trade.''
Consumers likely will get the ivory crush message as much, if not more, than the faraway poachers and smugglers being targeted by governments across the globe. Elephant poaching is at an all-time high, thanks in large part to U.S. demand and growing demand in Asia.
The Born Free Foundation estimates that poachers killed 32,000 elephants last year and that black-market ivory sells for around $1,300 per pound. Most are killed in Africa, where there are an estimated 300,000 African elephants left. The Asian elephant is now found from India to Vietnam, where an estimated 50,000 survive.

Elderly homeowner feels pinch of property taxes
A yellow butterfly dances up the walkway of Marian Butlers home and lands in a box full of pink geraniums hanging from the front stoop.
Her home on the western border of Wyoming looks as though it was plucked from a fairy tale, a Swiss chalet almost like a gingerbread house. Butler, 82, laid the stones for the fireplace 60 years ago, crossed the threshold as a bride, raised nine children here, buried a 10th, and spent a quarter century caring for a husband with Parkinsons disease.
A hand-painted sign stretching across the front reads, Wherever you wander, wherever you roam, be happy and healthy and glad to come home.
Dedicated to 2 square feet of solid improvements in her yard each day, she pauses over the papers on her coffee table, tax records and bills that demand $5,650 for her home and about 30 acres. Butler, living on $1,000 a month in Social Security minus a 10 percent donation to the Mormon church faces a tax increase thats affected many across Teton County this year as assessors updated property values to reflect Teton Countys expensive market.
She cant afford it.
Im being taxed out of my home, Butler said. When half of my money every month goes to taxes, how am I going to live?
