Buffallo
Bill's Gravesite
Buffalo Bill tried to preserve the buffalo by starting a protected
herd in the latter half of the 19th century. In his honor, the Buffalo
Bill Memorial Museum was erected.
 At
the museum you will find Sitting Bull's bow and arrows, Buffalo Bill's
show outfits, Frederick Remington's "Portrait of a Ranch Hand",
and other objects from the Old West.
Another attraction to this location is the one, and the only, grave
of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody. By his request, Buffalo
Bill was buried on Lookout Mountain in 1917, overlooking the Great Plains
and the Rockies.
Feel the breezes from the high peaks of the Continental Divide, smell
the Ponderosa Pines, and watch the mountain wildlife, all just thirty
minutes from downtown Denver. Because it is part of the Denver Mountain
Parks system, this facility has different hours depending on the season
so call for details.
