Tours & Toddies: Haunted Halls
2025-10-11 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Denver) | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Step Beyond the Museum Walls… Into the Unknown
This October, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West invites you to experience history with a twist—an after-hours journey into the unexplained. Ever wondered how a paranormal investigation works? What tools detect the unseen? Or what stories still linger in the dark?
Join the Exclusive Tours Team and the Wyoming Area Spirit Posse (W.A.S.P.) on October 11 or October 17, from 7:00–9:00 PM, for a spine-tingling evening inside the heart of the Center. Guests will hear from seasoned investigators, handle real ghost-hunting equipment, and uncover tales that refuse to rest quietly among our artifacts.
You’ll also get a first look at what W.A.S.P. discovered during their Summer 2025 investigation of the Center. From mysterious whispers to shifting shadows, these exclusive nights promise an immersive mix of Western history and paranormal mystery. As you explore darkened galleries, who knows—you may leave with a ghost story of your own. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or simply looking for a thrill, this experience will reveal the Center like you’ve never seen it. History is guaranteed. Ghosts are optional.
This Tours & Toddies event is $55 per person, or $50 for Center members. Spaces are limited, and advance registration is required.
Tickets include:
♦ A lights-out, small-group tour through the Cody Firearms Museum and Buffalo Bill Museum
♦ Food and drinks by the campfire at the Robbie Powwow Grounds (Please note: extended periods of walking and standing are required.)
Reserve your spot today:
♦ Online: tickets.centerofthewest.org

Sold Out Tours & Toddies: Haunted Halls

Ruggy Bear- Live Music
2025-10-17 20:00 | The Colonel Venue & Cigar Lounge, 1328 Beck Ave, Cody, WY
Ruggy Bear hails from Cody, Wy. Will Nutt helms the electric guitar and vocals with sick riffs and the voice of an angel, while Garrett Leach lays down nasty bass beats and rocks like the Duke. Jay Hecht plays the drums like cannons going off in symphonic syncopations that will make you dance better than Kevin Bacon. Ruggy Bear is a psychedelic pop rock force to be reckoned with by their genre bending songs and too-close-to-home lyrics that will make you feel like part of the band. Prepare yourself! Ruggy Bear is an entertaining live experience and doesn’t need a manual on how to rock.

The Barlow- Live Music
2025-10-24 20:30 - 23:30 | The Colonel Venue & Cigar Lounge, 1328 Beck Ave, Cody, WY
$10 at the door.
“Hey now! These guys are good! Who is The Barlow?” It’s a question heard regularly on Friday and Saturday nights in bars and honky-tonks across the Rockies and high-plains in the middle of the country. The answer to this requires a more complete description of the scene you are immersed in…
There is a critical juncture, a point in space and time where traditional country, raucous roadhouse rock n’ roll, southern rock and rootsy americana all converge; that apex is where the elite in the Texas/Red Dirt Country scene have planted their flag. Replete with rowdy, boot-stompin’, up-tempo beats; sometimes cutting, often times soaring, guitar leads; rip-your-heart out fiddle and pedal steel instrumentals; feel-good bass grooves that anyone can move to; and lyrical stories cut straight from real life in middle America; it’s the soundtrack of the current-day, regular Joe and Jane.
This is exactly who The Barlow are; 4-guys, from as unlikely a place as any, to lay down the Country-Rock anthems you’d expect to hear in Austin or Stillwater; Savannah, Raleigh or Mobile. Whatever you do, just don’t call it Nashville! This is Colorado Country! Driven right out of Denver and the rugged Rockies. And that’s significant! It’s heartfelt and relatable. Above all, it’s authentic!
