On July 4, 1882, in Lincoln County, Nebraska, the “Old Glory Blowout” was held as the manifestation of a dream that became a reality as “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West” and was witnessed by millions of people throughout the United States and parts of Europe. On the morning of that historic day, the “Old Glory Blowout” parade passed this spot on its way to the exhibition site, now Cody Park. It was dedicated to William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, an industrious Nebraska citizen.
