Old Trail Town
Old Trail Town & Museum of the Old West
A Western town rebuilt from 26 nineteenth-century log buildings. It includes the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang hideout linked to Butch Cassidy, and the graves of several Old West figures.
Old Trail Town stands on the original townsite of Cody. Archaeologist Bob Edgar moved log cabins, saloons, blacksmith shops and stores dating from 1879 to 1901 from across Wyoming and rebuilt them as a Western street. The buildings contain saddles, wagons, firearms and Native American artefacts. The Hole-in-the-Wall cabin is said to be where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid used to meet. The grounds also contain the relocated graves of Western figures, including the mountain man 'Liver-Eating' Johnson. Admission is about US$12. The site is open roughly from mid-May to late September and lies about 3 km west of the city centre. It can be visited on the same day as the evening rodeo, about 1 km away.
