Reviews of Cody Dug Up Gun Museum (Museum)

Dave Accardi

The place was amazing. Eva was very friendly and nice to talk to.

Sue Blanchard

This is a must see while in Cody, and admission is free. A lifelong collection of history and the old west., right in the heart of downtown!

Anthony Murdock

Neat find and free to public. Had some very cool old guns

Monica Meistrell

This place was educational and a great collection. You can go at your own pace and could spend 30 minutes to a couple hours here depending on how much you love history...and if you have kids with you. All of our kids found parts interesting and learned something. Also they are DONATIONS only!!

Wow

It's a great place to take a gander.

This was on our touring list for Cody. We were surprised to find it's by donation only. The displays are cleverly arranged as if you are seeing the weaponry as it was found. It makes you stop and look at the entire case before moving on to the next. Worth the visit and worth a nice donation.

Michael Kaiser

Very interesting, love the history behind the guns

Virginia Vogt

Wonderful place

A place every firearm and history buff should visit. Amazing collection. Though "free", the proprietors operate solely on donations. If you don't drop at least a little something in the box........

Spratin Boss

Neet place to see all the guns

megan daugherty

This place is definitely worth the stop!! Just right down the road from the buffalo bill museum! I decided to check this place out since it was free, and my husband and I were not dissatisfied! We donated on our way out the door as they run off donations!! Great place for history. I loved how it said how it was found and where!! So cool

Billy Hanna

Excellent

If you love old guns and pieces of old guns then this is the place for you. It is a one room display that is up a flight of stairs (which I wish I had know about as stairs are difficult for some older persons). No public bathrooms, food, drink - it is just a room filled with guns in display cases that have been found "dug up" or donated. It is a free museum but you can donate (which we definitely felt it was worth doing). It was enjoyable to look at the collection. I would allow an hour or less for the visit, but a person who loves guns could definitely be here a while.

Grace Birtchet

This place is a gem! Very interesting to see. Every piece includes a story which makes it better than the museum. We bought several very cool souvenirs. I'm very glad we stopped in and you should definitely make the trip.

Lee Crowder

Very cool private museum! Owners guided you through the history of the exhibits. Very nice! Even had an him from home, Galveston, TX

Thomas Bennett

Always stop in when we go to the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum, or to Yellowstone. Very cool history and an amazing collection, if you are into guns and history AT ALL, check this place out!

Mitch Pankey

Closed till summer

Janice Memmott

Had a lot of fun looking at all the old guns and rifles. Didn't get to see too much, it would have taken at least 3 days to see and appreciate all that we saw.

William Riedel

Isabelle Lévêque

(Translated by Google) Deadly. Rusty debris that certainly shows the horrors of war but gives an impression of great discomfort. (Original) Mortifère. Que des débris rouillés qui ,certes, montrent les horreurs de la guerre mais donnent une impression de grand malaise.

John Hancock

Very informative and lots of neat guns to see!

The Mental Edge LLC

Great history of guns

dale vandezande

Awesome

alan Paul

Cool stuff

L A Heath

Exactly what it says it is...items, mostly firearms, recovered from across the country and world and from different time periods. I thought there would be a more local focus since it is the Old West, right? But impressive nonetheless that the items are preserved and presented in a way to get you quickly through and learn a little bit along the way. Not accessible if you cannot climb some steep stairs, though, at least from what I could see.

Sib Stone

Pretty cool. Lots of old stuff.

7tepheni

Vickie Moyer

We had a great experience here. The collections were great and diverse with guns from different eras and different types. Each one had the type, history and where they were found. We had great conversations with the owners who were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of each piece in the collection. Definitely learned a lot!

Lot of history, lot of neat guns form around the world. Mainly was wild west and civil war but they had stuff up to Korea. Strictly runs off donations and the couple there where real friendly and me and the owner talked for about an hour real down to earth guy definitely would recommend going especially if you love guns!

A lot of very interesting stuff! Some of the guns have a history behind them, some have just been "dug up" from someplace, all in all it's definitely worth the trip.

KBC

This place is full of interesting artifacts.

Uber Tactics

Was suprised to find that a chronological layout and friendly staff made the muesum quite the hidden gem! I would easily recommend this a place to visit since it's quite small, so it leaves plenty of time for you do other events throughout your day.

Jeff Scott

Great selection of historic weapons! Very well presented.

Donald McAlexander

Greeded at the door very nice man theres no charge donation only he was very helpful exsplained the layout made my vist very enjoyable its not only guns but knives and some other things i would defently take the time to spend a few minutes looking at this collection

The artifacts here bring history to life in a way that no book can. If you visit, plan to spend at least an hour looking at the vast collection, and thank the owners for their dedication to this educational treasure.

garda hewitt

Must see if you go to Cody.

Joejr Saldana

Dylan Carnemolla

Awesome collection, worth visiting! Very friendly!

patricia hallmark

It was really nice to go in with my grandkids and see and talk about history. Great place to go and very interesting to see all the historical stuff

Scott Kern

Very large and nice collection of guns used in action. They are frozen in time with as much history they could find on them. This is the biggest collection of “one-off” extremely rare guns I have seen. Some of the owners met a violent end with here and how they were left. It brings it close to home when you realize these were left primarily because the people carrying them were in battle. It is worth seeing and the owner and his wife run solely on donations. They are great people to talk to and they love this country and its history!

Bridget Blaine

Interests of all era's well worth the time. Owner willing to share his knowledge. Check it out!

Military Antiques and history

Great place, kind owner, the type of guy you can sit and talk too about anything gun/military realated. Every piece has a story. Defiantly my favorite part of my visit to Cody Wyoming.

Tina Smith

Great experience. Lots of history here.

Jan Pfeiffer

Very nice owner, very interesting collection!

carol&dan butkovich

Fascinating private collection of dug up guns. It's free to get in to, there is a box for donations.

Michael Walker

Relic guns from every era of American history. Very educational. Great learning experience for young and old alike.

Lonnie Ruff

Amazing place. Off the main drag but a must see. Very well displayed.

John Vervoort

Very cool collection, really enjoyed it

Matt Jones

Hans was very polite and knowledgeable about the relics he had on display. Being a relic hunter myself I really enjoyed this, quite a few guns from different eras, with a good mixture of swords and bayonets as well. I would definitely recommend this place for any person wishing to learn actual dig up history and not reproduction items like you find in many museums.

Steve Hammond

This is an excellent and quick little distraction while you are in Cody. The bonus is it’s also free. They accept donations. I put $10 in the donation box. It was worth it. So many interesting firearms through the ages and very well presented. Do yourself a favour and check this out. You have nothing to lose.

vincent degrazio

Very interesting to look through the past! Great place, friendly people!

nopeope n

Awesome collection of guns and other weapons from several wars and periods in US history. Some really cool replicas AND genuine pieces for sale.

Rod Freeman

Super interesting collection of guns, swords and other memorabilia. The proprietor knows the history and details of most pieces and it's super interesting. Some of the pieces are things I have never seen anywhere. No pics allowed inside. Easy to find right downtown. Well worth a visit.

William Merkel

The lady behind the desk was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided great customer service.

Odis Harkins

Was a great experience!
