A rare chance to see the Wells Fargo Stagecoach made famous by “Buffalo Bill” Cody

In the 19th century, an entire town would turn out to greet the arrival of a Wells Fargo Stagecoach. Today, large crowds still gather to see these beautiful vehicles when they go on display at special events in communities around the country, because they are such an important part of our colorful American history.  Soon you’ll have the chance to get up close and admire an authentic, Wells Fargo-approved reproduction of the vehicle that once traveled across vast parts of America on a daily basis, carrying people, mail and valuables from town to town.
