WYOMING - Cody

August 15 Wednesday Started this day off with a visit to Old Trail Town which is the location of the original town of Cody.  There are many famous buildings here which have been deconstructed at their original locations and reconstructed here at Old Trail Town.  I have included lots of pictures of the signage that was at this town as it better explains the various buildings and pictures.

We went to visit the Heart Mountain Relocation Center which was opened in 2011 and documents the Japanese that were interred here during WWII.  This was an amazing documentary of their lives here and these pictures capture only a small part of their story.
