Very well done museum. Lots of touchable things, the full size powder wheel boat, we spent quite a while there. And it was museum week, so they had BOGO. Five bucks for two? Where can you get that?

A collection of many different items. You can learn about Buffalo Bill, see an old school house and a river steam boat. They have an Indian display, flight recorded,... so much to see. Plus they offer senior and AAA discount rates.

Why. Old. Dusty. Ick. I don't get it honestly. Nothing of interest really. Does anyone even know who he is anymore? Waste of space in my opinion.
The Buffalo Bill Museum is located right on the Mississippi River -- just 5 minutes off Interstate-80 in beautiful, historic downtown LeClaire, Iowa. The Buffalo Bill is a kid-friendly, pet-friendly regional history museum, chock full of interesting exhibits about pioneer life; Buffalo Bill Cody and Mississippi River Boat Pilots.
We have a replica of a 1927 one-room schoolhouse and children love playing "teacher". They also enjoy participating in our scavenger hunts -- we even have a pre-reading version (pictures only).
AND we have the Lone Star -- the last working wooden hulled paddlewheel tugboat on the Mississippi River. Come climb aboard!!
Admission: $5 Adults; $4 Seniors; $1 students (children under the age of 6 are free)
