As the only conservation laboratory within an institution in Wyoming, our conservator routinely responds to inquiries from museums and the public in Wyoming and the interior West. Center curators, archivists, and collections managers also routinely counsel and assist smaller institutions and individuals in Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain region. The Center presented the following special exhibits on site:Cody to the World: Celebrating 100 Years at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, displaying objects from our 100-year history.

| Desc | EDUCATION:The Center presented the following educational programs in 2017:Schools at the Center - Attendance on-site for schools was 5,118 in 2017. Over 1,200 total students visited the Center through our MILES program which provides scholarships, lodging, and transportation for students in Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado.Internet-based learning - Through a partnership with Microsoft in Education's Skype in the Classroom, Center educators reached nearly 25,000 students in 25 countries with interactive lessons on various topics tailored to different age groups.Family Fun Days - Over 1,000 people attended several programs to help families have fun interacting with each other and our exhibits through hands-on activity stations. 2017 events included Winterfest, Back to the Future, Hootin' Howlin' Halloween, and FallFest.Chuckwagon cooking demonstrations - Knowledgeable cooks made history come to life by talking to more than 7,800 visitors about cooking on a cattle drive, making Dutch oven biscuits, beans, and coffee over a campfire and serving them to visitors.Visiting artists - Seven visiting artists provided demonstrations of their work and interacted with visitors in the galleries.Off-campus programs - A geology float down the Shoshone River, a parfleche workshop for adults, a Discovery Field Trip for middle school kids in Grand Teton National Park, and Arrowheads, Atlases, and Archaeology were presented to various age groups.Tour guide program - Education staff conducted guided tours of the Center, serving 3,746 visitors. Spotlight programs - Docents and staff presented twenty-minute Spotlight Programs featuring a variety of museum topics to more than 4,500 visitors. Programs included The Essential Chuckwagon, The Story of "The Scout," The Sculptures of A.P. Proctor, Firearms of the West and Annie Oakley. Bear Aware programs, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, discussed bear safety and good habits to practice in bear country. Preschool Program - In the fall of 2017 we launched a preschool program at the Center which collaborates with area pre-schools and Park County School District #6 to offer tours to 3-5 year olds. The goal of the program is to help bridge the gap between pre-school and Kindergarten, and expose these young learners to our amazing collections and opportunities at the Center of the West. Virtual Arapaho Village - An education intern and a volunteer with experience with Virtual Reality created the foundation for a virtual experience in conjunction with the Plains Indian Museum.Adult offerings - Programs are offered throughout the year for adult learners and include Docent Training, Cody Culture Club, Buffalo Gals Luncheon, Behind the Scenes Tours of the Center, Coffee with Curators, Insider Experiences, Lunchtime Expedition and Draper After Dark lecture series, and numerous other lectures and author talks.Friday Family Activities -Family activities are offered every Friday afternoon during the summer, with three hands-on stations engaging visitors in the theme of the month. In June, the focus was on Plains Indian culture with trade activities, dime novel recreations, and Plains Indian crafts. In July, the theme was geology, and participants were taught about the volcanic rocks of the region, as well as the geo-thermal features of Yellowstone. In August, stations centered on water, allowing participants to make the Grand Prismatic Spring with coffee filters and tying flies and catching "fish" while learning about healthy stream systems.Intern program - In 2017 the Center hosted 19 interns who worked in a variety of museum departments including conservation, curatorial, registration, and education. Each internship is designed to give participants hands-on knowledge in their field and the opportunity to learn from museum professionals. The real strength of this program is that the impact is effectively doubled, aiding the Center as well as the student.Draper Museum Raptor Experience - The Center is home to 11 birds that are injured or otherwise unable to survive in the wild. Staff and volunteers present live programs daily at the Center and to schools and other organizations as requested. Staff and volunteers presented 512 programs attended by 33,200 people. | Desc |
