he Draper Museum of Natural History opened to the public on June 4, 2002 to become the newest addition to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, and the first American natural history museum established in the 21st century. The Museum bears the name of BBHC trustee and benefactor Nancy-Carroll Draper, who tirelessly championed adding a natural history museum to the humanities museums of the BBHC. In 1997, the BBHC Board of Trustees approved a proposal to begin development of the DMNH as a vehicle to integrate natural sciences with humanities and therefore present a broader perspective on the American West.
