Cody, WY was recently named the 7th Best Historic Small Town by USA Today’s 10 Best. "These 10 winners for Best Historic Small Town have big histories and small populations—fewer than 30,000—making them fun and affordable ways to dive into our nation’s past."
"Founded in 1896 by the legendary Buffalo Bill himself, the town of Cody sits just 50 miles from the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park, making it a popular gateway for park goers. The Rodeo Capital of the World offers a colorful downtown filled with steakhouses, cowboy apparel shops, historic hotels, and Old West saloons."
