We stopped in at the Fort Cody Trading Post which was an
interesting store of many bizarre items.
“The Fort Cody Trading Post has remained true to its original vision --
a replica frontier redoubt of the 1860-to-1875 era that claims to be "Nebraska's Largest Souvenir and
Western Gift Store." While many gift shops in the West attempt to
look like frontier stockades, this is probably the largest, maybe even larger
than life. Soldier dummies man the stockade battlements and towers; one has an
arrow sticking out of his butt.” <RoadsideAmerica>
Then we went to see Buffalo Bill Cody’s home which is now a
historic state park. We saw his home and
his barn as well as having a walk around the grounds. Quite an interesting stop – beautiful grounds. He was quite a character and visionary.
We took a detour from our projected route to visit Carhenge
in Alliance. This is the No. 2 Wackiest
Attraction (No. 1 being the Toilet Seat Museum in Alamo Heights Texas according
to RoadtripAmerica). What a hoot!
