  If you are a history buff you won't want to miss Cody's Old Trail Town! The buildings were taken apart, moved from their original locations and then reconstructed here...it is a real reminder of the tough western life! About 20 buildings to see. The cemetery has graves with the most famous being Jeremiah Johnson. Robert Redford who played Jeremiah in a movie came here to rebury his body. Can't imagine anyone who would not like Old Trail Town. There is a small feebut well worth the time and money!

  Old Trail Town should not be missed when you are in Cody or on the way to Yellowstone National Park. It just oozes history from the buildings to the grave sites of some of the legendary characters of the Old West. There is nothing artificial or staged here - just the genuine article.

  Old Trail Town sits on the original townsite of Cody, WY. For a small entrance fee, visitors stroll through a town created from historic buildings (houses, businesses, bars, cabins) that have been carefully disassembled, moved, and reassembled from remote locations in Wyoming and Montana. At the far end are two areas of gravesites; Jeremiah Johnson is buried there. We spent a little more than an hour for a very pleasant visit.

  We took a group of 20 and they all thoroughly enjoyed it. It gives you a true feel of the real west, as it was lived by the pioneers and early residents. The collections are well displayed and fascinating. The staff is helpful and friendly. We would go again!

  Definitely more than meets the eye. Beautifully maintained and preserved. People really care about history. A photographer's paradise. Go early to keep too many people out of your shots. Nice artifact collection to boot!

  You must stop and tour this town! It is awesome! To walk where Butch Cassidy did and see all the bullet holes in the saloon, etc... Great to see!

  It does not cost much to go here...there is even a senior discount! All buildings were taken from somewhere else and put up again here to show you what an old western town was like long ago. One building is like a museum and has some very interesting displays in it. One building is a bar with bullet holes in the walls to prove how liquor and guys can become on a night in town after being out on the range for a while! :) There is a one room school...all very interesting. I think everyone should take a bit of time to tour at your own pace this wonderful landmark. A walk around the property even has some famous graves for you to look at. It's located on the outskirts of town and easy to find.

  Although this is a relatively small attraction is was for me a highlight of our visit to Cody. There were more buildings here than I had expected and their authenticity and the photographs they contained certainly provided a glimpse of the old wild west. My husband loving having his photo taken at the front door of several cabins.The small entrance charge was definitely value for money and I would certainly recommend a visit to Old Trail Town.

  Little hidden gems all over this restored "Western" town. The buildings have been collected from all over Wyoming. Great little gift shop, with unusual items. Take the walking tour around the original site of the town of Cody. The buildings are very interesting and don't forget to look around at the wagons and behind and through the buildings. Great photo opportunities. We have, in fact, done our engagement and family photos there. Definitely worth a stop while in Cody.

  I'm not quite sure what we were expecting, but . . Old Trail Town was recommended to us as a "must see" - If you are a real western and/or Wyoming history buff, I'm sure you would enjoy this. I don't know that we'd consider this a must-see. The staff was very friendly - It is a self-guided tour around a "town" which has old, authentic buildings (businesses and homes) from different historical places. Each building is labeled with historical information. It is something to consider the work that has gone into dismanteling these buildings where they were and then reconstructing them here. There are old wagons, etc going down the center of the street between the two sides of the street where the historic buildings are placed. Those are interesting, and if interested in photography, great photo ops here.
