The Buffalo Bill Cody Homestead was the boyhood home of William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody in the Wapsipinicon River valley south of McCausland, Iowa, and reflects the Cody family’s early frontier life. Built in 1847 by his father, Isaac Cody, from native limestone, the farmhouse preserves features such as walnut floors and trim that retain much of its original character. Isaac and Mary Cody moved the family there from LeClaire, directly tying the house to Cody’s Iowa childhood before his later fame as a scout and showman. Its architectural survival and connection to a major figure in 19th-century American popular culture led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
