The Buffalo Bill Cody home is not necessarily one of Iowa’s best-known historic sites, but it is a notable connection to the history of the West. William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody only lived here for three years, though, and his family had left Iowa entirely by the time he was 7.
The name of Isaac Cody, Buffalo Bill’s father, is misspelled on this 15-year-old marker. The Scott County Conservation Department has it as “Isaac,” as does this grave marker directory.
