About Buffalo Bill State Historical Park
Buffalo Bill State Historical Park preserves Scout’s Rest Ranch, the 4,000-acre estate built by Col. William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody in North Platte during the height of his Wild West Show fame. The site includes the original ranch house and barn, offering a glimpse into Cody’s personal life and legacy.
Adjacent to the historical park, Buffalo Bill State Recreation Area provides hiking trails and scenic views, allowing visitors to explore the landscape that once surrounded Cody’s ranch. The two areas together offer a cohesive experience of history and natural environment.
