The Cody Firearms Museum houses the most comprehensive assemblage of American firearms in the world. The Winchester Collection, the heart of this museum, was transported from New Haven, Connecticut to Cody in 1976. Dedicated in 1991, the Cody Firearms Museum provides an expansive permanent home for the collection.

Don't expect to see only Winchester-made arms here; virtually every significant manufacturer in the world is represented. Within the exhibits, visitors are able to trace the evolution of modern firearms technology from its earliest days through today's outstanding variations.

The Cody Firearms Museum Staff gladly responds to queries for information on firearms and firearms-related items. While the staff strives to respond within a reasonable amount of time, they receive a large number of requests. Please be patient about receiving a response. The curatorial staff cannot resolve gunsmithing or highly technological queries, but they can assist you with general and historical information about firearms.


Cody Firearms Museum Record Service

Firearms collectors can take advantage of the Cody Firearms Museum Records Service to secure information about individual firearms. Depending on Cody Firearms Museum membership level, factory letters for CFM members are greatly discounted or free. Factory letters are available to non-Cody Firearms Museum members for a fee. Please contact the Records Specialist for our rates.
