Buffalo Bill's Wild West

The Buffalo Bill's Wild West was a touring western show operated by William F. Cody. It visited Birmingham five times between 1895 and 1913, holding parades through downtown and hosting crowds at Smith's Park near Smithfield.

The show merged with rival Pawnee Bill's Historic Wild West in 1908.
