Unlock the secrets behind America's most storied firearms.

Step beyond the galleries and deep into the heart of the Cody Firearms Museum and McCracken Research Library for an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience. This Vault Tour takes guests through multiple restricted-access areas spaces few ever see where history rests behind secured doors and preservation walls.

Your journey begins inside the Cody Firearms Museum, where your guide points out remarkable artifacts and hidden stories as the group moves towards the Bruce J. Levin Research Room, where guests can get hands-on with select artifacts before making their way through secure corridors to enter the Cody Firearms Museum Vault, home to rare firearms and collection pieces not currently on public display. Next, continue your journey into the McCracken Research Library Archival Vaults, where the original Winchester Repeating Arms Company records and factory blueprints reveal stories of innovation, craftsmanship, and the individuals who shaped the American West.

Each tour is led by knowledgeable guides and curatorial staff who tailor the experience to your group's interests. Group size is limited, creating an intimate, insider experience few get to enjoy. Guests will have opportunities for close-up viewing, artifact insights, and a rare look into how the Center of the West preserves its vast collections for future generations.

Go beyond the glass. Step behind the doors. Experience the Vault Expedition.

Step Beyond the Glass Cases and Into the Vault

Book a Cody Firearms Museum Vault Tour and go beyond the galleries!

Join a small group of fellow history buffs and firearms enthusiasts for a behind-the-scenes journey few ever experience. You'll unlock hidden secrets, step inside VIP areas, and explore the heart of the Center of the West in a way most visitors never can.

Normally off-limits to the public, the Vault holds thousands of rare firearms and artifacts not currently on display. As you move past locked doors and through restricted hallways, your Exclusive Tours and Cody Firearms Museum guides will reveal stories of craftsmanship, innovation, and adventure spanning centuries of firearms history.

Each Vault Tour is its own adventure shaped by your questions, your guides, and the unexpected discoveries waiting around every corner. Step inside and see what story unfolds for you.

Because of preservation and security requirements, only a limited number of guests are allowed inside each day making this an opportunity as rare as the artifacts themselves.

Don't miss your chance to step behind closed doors and into history. Advance registration is recommended to secure your spot!

Contact the Exclusive Tours Office at 307-254-7073 or [email protected] to reserve your spot, ask about private group options, or discuss special requests.
