It was nice walking on the wood side walk & going into old school houses, saloons and houses where people lived. It really showed how little people had for comforts.

Super for photography, a large collection of old wagons and hostelry. The old buildings really give the whole place atmosphere, and again superb for taking those Wild West type shots.

This is a small exhibit of old cabins that is worth a visit. It was so cool to see these historic old structures. You just walk along a small boardwalk and look into some and step in to other cabins. There are also tons of old stagecoaches to view. Very interesting. We liked it a lot.

I write as a brit with a long-term fascination with the Old West as shown by Hollywood! Whenever I go to Old Trail Town in Cody (when I visit friends in that region) I am transported back 130 years or so to the clapboard frontier towns of yore. The collection has a saloon with bullet holes in the door; it... More

There are a lot of old west artifacts and information at Old Trail Town. It was nice that they tied as much as possible to the local history of Cody and the surrounding area. We got a good feel for how the area developed over the years. Our teenagers enjoyed the stop as well.

It is worth visiting. The place is not too well kept but shows very interesting and genuine testimony of the old times. A great place to take pictures.

This was a great stop in Cody. My 13 yr old son and I really loved it. The original Jeremiah Johnson is buried here. Great old buildings, all original. If you like the old west, you have to stop here.

I love looking at houses. This place was like stepping back in time. The attraction has wood cabins recovered from around the old West. The cabins are well preserved and arranged almost like old village. In the cabins are more artifacts and stories of the people who once lived in the home. The general store was one of my favorites.

Many original buildings from the old West, complete with boardwalk. Displayed well, and one building is chock full of interesting items dating back to that time. Don't miss the large barn full of different wagons. Gives visitors a great chance to think back of how it might have been. Very reasonable admission.

A return visit - we enjoy meandering through the town which is well put togehter and carries real history much with photographic evidence to support (as with a lot of the modern US history) which we find incredible.
