Summary[edit]

Description
English: Col. Wm. F. Cody, “Buffalo Bill,” built his North Platte home during the heyday of his famous Wild West Show, which debuted in North Platte as the “Old Glory Blowout” on July 4th, 1882. Cody owned some 4,000 acres here, and in 1886, built the large Second Empire mansion at a cost of $3,900. Sixteen acres of his ranch, appropriately named “Scout’s Rest”, became a state historical park in 1965.

You'll note the name of the ranch painted on the roof of the long barn in the background. The famed Pony Express rider, Army scout and buffalo hunter-turned-showman loved to get away here during the off season. It was Buffalo Bill’s home from 1886 to 1913.

Famous people who visited him here included Teddy Roosevelt, Annie Oakley, Sitting Bull, Houdini, and Grand Duke Alexis of Russia.
