Our visit
The Cody Dug Up Gun Museum is the most interesting museum in Wyoming. Hans and Eva Kurth’s collection of more than 1,000 relic guns, all dug up, pulled from rivers or found in old buildings, covers the Old West through World War II, and admission is free with a donation jar.
The tour arrived after the museum had closed for the season, and they opened up anyway. The crew spent a few hours walking the collection and talking with the owners about Cody, dug-up guns and Second Amendment issues. The video below is from that visit. A must see.
