Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Prayer Trip
Hunn Station School House - This one room school house
stands where the school was that William F. Cody alias
Buffalo Bill attended as a boy. This is the third
school built on the site since Will attended school
here. There is no marker or tourist center in this area.
After
the excitement of life on the plains, going to school
was dull work; but Will realized that there was a
world beyond the prairie's horizon, and he entered
school, determined to do honest work...Almost every
afternoon was attended with the dramatic attempt to
switch Will. The schoolroom was separated into two
grand divisions, "the boys on teacher's side,"
and those "on the Cody side."
