"William Cody is a fascinating historical character that’s most commonly known as Buffalo Bill. Cody was born in the mid-1800s when Colorado was wild, dangerous, and full of herds of wild buffalo; he made a name for himself by hunting them. Buffalo Bill also founded his own theater production called The Wild West, which thrilled visitors with acts of horsemanship and harrowing tales of life in the wilds of Colorado."

"Buffalo Bill’s Gravesite and Museum features exhibits exploring Buffalo Bill’s life and times, including Wild West show outfits and posters, Indian artifacts, and antique firearms.

"• If it’s a Saturday from April to November, then saunter the Boulder Farmers’ Market to sample some locally made goodies, ogle the flower and fruit displays, hear some live music and grab a plate of steaming dumplings or tamales from the outdoor “food court.” Nab a seat under the towering cottonwood trees at adjacent Central Park for an impromptu picnic. • Not visiting on a Saturday?.
