Cody, WYOMING - Burlington Cody Inn - flag, tractor

Description: Cody, WYOMING - Burlington Cody Inn: William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American scout, bison hunter, and showman. He took an interest in the area that now bears his name, when the Burlington System extended a spur into Cody in 1901. Even after the arrival of the railroad, the 130 mile ride from Toluca, Montana, was still an all-day trip. Toluca, itself, was described by big game hunter A. H. Cordier as consisting of a "depot, a section house two Cody hotel signs and a large prairie dog population." Dr. Cordier noted that the length of the journey included stops the "engineer and fireman made when they went to shoot prairie chickens along the right of way." Cody was, according to Dr. Cordier, was more animated because of the ranchmen, miners and cowboys than its size would otherwise indicate. Col. Cody envisioned tourists arriving in Cody by train and then traveling by stage to Yellowstone up a road following the Shoshone River and staying in the Pahaska Tepee and Wapiti Inn. On the return, he envisioned the tourists staying in the Irma. In 1927, the railroad by-passed Cody's hotels and constructed the Burlington Inn. The Burlington Inn had 90 rooms. The dining room could hold 400 to 500 persons. The Inn only operated seasonally when the road to Yellowstone was open following World War II. Its back bar is now on display in the Meeteetse Museum. Before World War II, the tourists arrived by train, traveled up the Cody Road to Yellowstone and when they returned they stayed at the Burlington Inn. As many as 50 busses would wait for the arrival of a train to take the tourists to Yellowstone. Following Cody's death, the hotel continued to be operated by Cody's widow, Louisa and her son-in-law Fred Garlow. This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good condition, but there is some edge wear and soiling. HHT Co. No. 4545.
