One of America's Greatest Folk Art Displays

It's Showtime!

Fort Cody Trading Post is the permanent home to Buffalo Bill's Miniature Wild West Show!  This narrated diorama, made by Ernie and Virginia Palmquist, took 12 years to complete and contains thousands of hand-carved pieces...many animated!

Ernie attended the show as a child and actually met Buffalo Bill, which inspired him, years later, to create this fantastic, one-of-a-kind, presentation.

​We present this display to you, free of charge, running every half hour!
