*In 1872, Cody was awarded the Medal of Honor for service as a civilian scout to the [[3rd Cavalry Regiment (United States)|3rd Cavalry Regiment]], for "gallantry in action" at Loupe Forke, Platte River, Nebraska. In 1917, after Congress revised the standards for the award, the U.S. Army removed from the rolls 911 medals previously awarded to civilians or for actions that would not warrant a Medal of Honor under the new higher standards. Cody's medal was among those revoked. In 1977, Congress began reviewing numerous cases; it reinstated the medals for Cody and four other civilian scouts on June 12, 1989.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cmohs.com/medal/medal_history.htm |title=The Medal's History |first=Charles |last=Polanski |year=2006 |publisher=Congressional Medal of Honor Society |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070928073912/http://www.cmohs.com/medal/medal_history.htm |archive-date=September 28, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/corrections/restorations.html |title=Restoration of 6 Awards Previously Purged From The Roll of Honor |publisher=HomeOfHeroes.com |date=1999–2009 |first=C.

*''Buffalo Bill's Wild West and the Progressive Image of American Indians'' is a collaborative project of the [[Buffalo Bill Historical Center]] and the history department of the [[University of Nebraska–Lincoln]], with assistance from the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. This digital history project contains letters, official programs, newspaper reports, posters, and photographs. The project highlights the social and cultural forces that shaped how American Indians were defined, debated, contested, and controlled in this period. This project was based on the Papers of William F. Cody project of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.<ref>[http://segonku.unl.edu/~jheppler/showindian/analysis/show-indians/standing-bear/ Heppler, "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and the Progressive Image of American Indians"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029210410/http://segonku.unl.edu/~jheppler/showindian/analysis/show-indians/standing-bear/ |date=October 29, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://buffalobillproject.unl.edu/|title=The Buffalo Bill Project|website=buffalobillproject.unl.edu}}</ref>

*The [[Buffalo Bills]], a [[National Football League]] team based in [[Buffalo, New York]], were named after the entertainer.

He did however live for a few years in nearby Rochester. Three of Buffalo Bill's children are buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.<ref name="Reisem1994">{{cite book| first= Richard O. |last= Reisem|title=Mount Hope, Rochester, New York: America's First Municipal Victorian Cemetery|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kxMLN0Z2PTsC&pg=PA66| year= 1994 |publisher= Landmark Soc. of Western New York|isbn=978-0964170636|page=66}}</ref>
