Last year our PR and Marketing Manager, Ken Straniere, reached out to Josh Gates and the Expedition Unknown team about investigating the long-debated final resting place of the most famous man of his time. (Buffalo Bill Center Of The West).

 

The TV crew filmed and interviewed experts at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, other locations in Cody, Wyoming, as well as Lookout Mountain and Estes Park, Colorado, to follow the mystery!

Tune in Wednesday, July 2nd at 9 PM on Discovery, Josh and his team will reveal their findings. Mark your calendars for Season 15, Episode 3:

“The Lost Grave of Buffalo Bill.”

Buffalo Bill Cody is indeed buried on Lookout Mountain, near Golden, Colorado.

Despite some conspiracy theories and local rivalries, the evidence overwhelmingly supports his burial there, including eyewitness accounts and historical records.

His wife, Louisa Cody, is also buried next to him.

While a popular theory suggests his body was secretly moved to Cody, Wyoming, this is not supported by evidence.

Many in Cody, Wyoming, believe he was buried there, but this is likely due to local sentiment and pride rather than a factual basis.

There is no evidence of a second burial site, and the burial on Lookout Mountain was well-documented and witnessed.

The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave is a popular attraction, drawing visitors to see the gravesite and learn about his life and legacy.

The museum is located in Lookout Mountain Park, a short drive from Denver.

Despite the ongoing debate, the official record and historical accounts confirm his burial on Lookout Mountain.
