Buffalo Bill Dam, Concrete dam and museum in Park County, United States.
The Buffalo Bill Dam spans across the Shoshone River with a height of 350 feet and extends 200 feet at its crest.
The construction of the dam, completed in 1910, required 82,900 cubic yards of concrete and marked one of the first concrete arch dams in the United States.
The dam bears the name of William Cody, who transferred water rights to the Secretary of Interior in 1904 for the Shoshone Project development.
The reservoir created by the dam supplies water for irrigation to 93,000 acres of farmland, producing crops such as beans, alfalfa, and sugar beets.
Workers on this dam organized Wyoming's first labor strike during construction, demanding higher wages for their dangerous working conditions.
