    The museum is the flagship point of Buffalo Bill's Western Center. He first opened his doors to the public in 1927 in a log cabin in the center of Cody, modelled on the house of Bill Cody to the southwest of the city, and remained there until 1969.

    Historic Nauvoo Visitors' Center

    Here is another interesting place from the historical point of view, we liked it very much. Here's a little reference.
    In 1839, the first members of The Church of Jesus Christ - Latter-day Saints, called Mormons, founded this place of peace and beauty on the great bend of the Mississippi River. Today, Nauvoo is one of America's leading historical communities. Visitors can explore more than 30 historical exhibitions dedicated to the period from 1839 to 1846.
    Open hours: Monday - Saturday 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM Sunday 12:00 – 5:00 PM

    Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse

    This is an interesting attraction thanks to Mark Twain. The lighthouse, built in 1935 as a monument to the writer on the day of his 100th birthday, is the second in this place. Next to the lighthouse there is an information board that describes the history of the lighthouse, showing photographs for all the years of existence, including photographs after the hurricane of 1960.
    In 1963, a complete reconstruction was carried out. The lighthouse and its stairs have changed over the years, thanks to the relocation of the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge. Interesting location with a view of the Mississippi River.
