Cody Firearms Museum

The Cody Firearms Museum houses the most comprehensive collection of American firearms in the world. In 1975, the Winchester Arms Collection, the heart of this museum, adventured west as a loan from the Olin Corporation. It was deeded as a gift in 1988. To date, the Cody Firearms Museum has over 7,000 firearms and more than 30,000 firearms-related artifacts.

Winchester-made guns are not the only manufacturer you will see here, though; virtually every significant manufacturer in the world is represented. Visitors are able to explore the development of firearms technology from its earliest days up to the present. Whether you are interested in sporting, military, embellished, or even Hollywood guns, there is something for all visitors.

Firearms collectors and researcher can take advantage of the Cody Firearms Museum Records Office to acquire information about individual firearms manufactured by Winchester, Marlin, L.C. Smith, Ithaca, Savage, and A.H. Fox.
