The Cody Nite Rodeo started in 1938 and is the longest running and the only nightly rodeo (June-August) in the world.  Gates open at 7:00 p.m. with rodeo action kicking off at 8:00 p.m. All seating is general admission within two sections, but we do suggest you purchase tickets in advance online.

Be sure to arrive early and have your picture taken on our live rodeo bull "Mongo", ride the mechanical bull, get your face painted by the rodeo clowns, learn to rope like the cowboys & cowgirls, and visit the Cody Nite Rodeo store.  https://www.codystampederodeo.com/

Old Trail Town preserves the lifestyle and history of the Frontier West through a rare collection of authentic structures and furnishings. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana these historic buildings were carefully disassembled, moved and reassembled here at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends.  Located here also are thousands of historic artifacts from the Old West and grave sites of several notable Western figures. Here too are original cabins used by Old West outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and a Wyoming saloon frequented by Cassidy’s “Hole-in-the-Wall Gang”. Also on this site is the log cabin home of “Curley” a Crow Indian army scout who helped guide Lt Col. George A. Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry to the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. Old Trail Town exists today as a memorial to the uniquely American experience known throughout the world as “the Old West”.  https://www.oldtrailtown.org/
