Pulling off I-80 for a bio break and fill up, we noticed a stockade fort with a giant Buffalo Bill Cody sign dwarfing everything in the parking lot. Clearly a tourist trap, the free museum is inside the trading post. And although in some respects it could have been any old cheesy road side shop, this one had immense charm and some fun cool items. In addition to some great taxidermy and artifacts from the Wild West, there is Buffalo Bill's Miniature Wild West Show created by Ernie and Virginia Palmquist. With over 20,000 hand carved and painted wood figures, the diorama has several animatronic scenes and a voice-over track.
