My sons and I had such a great time in here. The gentleman working was very kind and knowledgeable and was happy to answer all of our questions. You can't beat the price of a free museum and they had some neat souvenirs. My son got a belt and a badge and has worn them every day since! read more

In Cody, Wyoming, there are TWO places that you can visit to see fascinating collections of firearms. The FIRST is so gigantic that your eyes will glaze over. The SECOND is much MORE MANAGEABLE and definitely MORE UNIQUE. Not only that, the owner will be on hand and he'll visit with you as you walk around and look at the exhibits. You'll hear firsthand all about the provenance of the items. When you visit Cody, please don't just stop at the FIRST place. See the SECOND place - YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID! read more

Great spot for some amazing history. Owner knows so much and seems to love to share. Went with my husband who loves guns and history and he could have spent days just enjoying every thing. Great little spot. read more

This museum is FREE. The family and I were visiting Yellowstone and stopped in Cody along the way. We had some extra time so decided to stop in. The proprietor was extremely nice and knowledgeable. The museum held hundreds of guns and antique old western paraphernalia. Great place to stop and take in some history, can also purchase working antiques or place orders with the owner if you have a specific antique item you are looking for. Great place! Glad we stopped in! read more

It was a great place to visit! The owner was incredibly nice along with Harley! God Bless you!

Super cool museum with so much history! The owner is even selling some antiques (not just guns). Also, it's free to go in because it's supported by donations! Although I highly recommend donating because it's awesome! read more

Had my hat in one hand and a hatpin in the other. The Operator rudely accused me of trying to take pictures! Where was my camera? Both hands were full. Shook my head to deny his claim, his response, don't shake your head to me! We left, bought nothing, and don't recommend anyone visit this rude establishment!!! read more

Very cool museum. An amazing collection of historical firearm relics organized very well by time period and use. The proprietor is very knowledgeable and provide a true history lesson. read more

Had the opportunity to speak at length with the owner, Hans. A very knowledgeable man with a love for history. I couldn't agree more with all the prior good reviews! The night before I visited, they had driven all night to Montana to pick up an artifact for the museum. Dead tired, they debated opening the museum the next day, but Hans felt he should be there for the people who had traveled a ways to be there. We especially appreciated that as we had driven from Massachusetts to get there. If you love history, you will learn here while being entertained. Reach deep for a donation, as that is all the support they get, and there surely isn't a better bargain to be found. Thank you Hans for the Hi Power book. read more

Fascinating museum with relics from the Revolutionary War thru WWII. And weapons lost on the plains during the Indian Wars.

What a great, fun, museum. One man's quest to exhibit old crusty, dirty, guns really puzzled me. The history that was artfully displayed with the firearms was perfect. It is a museum that is supported by donations and while it is nothing like the "other" museum in town; it is truly unique and not to be missed. read more

Super cool place, just off the main street. Very well done displays of guns, not just from the West but all over the world. They have exhibits from the Civil War, WWI and WWII and many others. Great for people who like history. They operate on donations only, so make sure to give something to help a small business operate. read more

This place is awesome! The owners are super friendly and excited to share their collection. Great place for any Military History buff! Wish we lived closer so we could go back :-). p.s. since my return from vacation I have contacted the owners over items I would like to purchase, and they are just as friendly and helpful over the phone as they are in person! p.s.s. Be sure to check out their items for sale. I came back with a handful of skeleton keys, and some T-shirts that are going to make amazing Christmas gifts. read more

If you like guns then you'll enjoy this small personal museum. Runs on donations only.

The owner shared some great stories of how he came across some of the guns. Great place and it's FREE!!! Leave a donation please!!! read more

One of our friends recommended that we visit the museum and I'm glad we did. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's well worth a visit: very informative and interesting displays. Our kids really enjoyed seeing the artifacts (and may have even learned something!!!). And it was the first dog-friendly museum that I've visited - the dog loved it too! read more

They have guns found at Manassas! Right here in Cody, Wyoming! Really interesting and engaging presentation of all sorts of firearms from the West and elsewhere in the world. Obscure place, you will never notice it unless you happen to be walking on the sidewalk. We liked it, we recommend it. Skip the dozens of western-wear stores and go to this museum. read more

This is a fantastic oddity, which will be enjoyed by any fan of guns, history, or just "strange stuff." a small room packed with guns and rifles that have literally been dug out of the gun in various states of dis composition and disrepair. Free but with donation suggested... And earned! read more
