Welcome to the Badland's

They traveled hundreds of miles west in search of a new life on the frontier.

These images capture the arduous beginnings of homesteaders as they settled across the Great Plains in the early 20th century.

Details of their journeys scrawled on personalized photo postcards give a rare glimpse into early American life on the western prairies of Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas.

Some of you may know this already, but...

On the outskirts of Cody, WY there is the "Old Trail Town" Museum.  It has grown over the years quite a bit and it's been a few years since I've been there, but they have several old cabins from around the west.  They've numbered the logs/boards and reassembled them.  They've also re-interred several people from the old west.  Including Jeremiah "Liver Eatin'" Johnson.

If you've got some time in Cody and enjoy museums/history/etc I highly recommend it.

Cody is also convenient to "Dead Indian" and Beartooth Passes.

No, I am not cool.  Yes, it really is the journey.
