Buffalo Bill Boyhood Home

The Buffalo Bill Boyhood Home is a simple two-story wooden house with two rooms on each floor at 720 Sheridan Avenue in Cody. The structure gives a direct look at how people lived during the 1800s on the American frontier.

The house was built in 1841 in Iowa and transported by railroad to Wyoming in 1933. This move shows how the town worked to preserve its connection to pioneer history.

The home shows how frontier families lived and the simple conditions they faced daily. Visitors can see the rooms where everyday life and adventure mixed together in the 1800s.

The house is part of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and open to visitors. The compact layout with just two rooms per floor makes it easy to tour and understand the simple building methods of that era.

The walls feature hand-hewn beams and oak construction methods that show the craftsmanship of the 1800s. These building techniques are rarely preserved and offer insight into the skills of frontier builders from that time.
