Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located at the mouth of the Shoshone Canyon, the Buffalo Bill Dam was built in the early 1900s and, at the time of its completion, was the tallest dam in the world. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, today, the dam still stands as an impressive feat of engineering, and visitors can explore its history at the Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center, which boasts an array of educational exhibits and a short film about the construction of the dam. Self-guided audio tours are available, and guests can walk to the top of the dam for breathtaking views. The Buffalo Bill Visitor Center is open every day from the beginning of May through to the end of September, and a free shuttle runs from the parking lot to the center.
