This is a heritage site. It pays tribute to the beast that once roamed the great American plains in the west. The bison played a role in American History and this place tells us the story of it. A recreated encampment tells us about the culture, traditions and lifestyle of the Native Americans in the past. There are bronze sculptures of 14 bisons and 3 Native Americans. These statues have been sculpted with delicate craftsmanship and have since been well taken care of by the administration. The scale of the whole monument is larger than life. It is both educational and awe-inspiring.

Highlights include:

• The Bison Statues
• The Interpretive Center
• Informative Film Screening
• The Gift Shop
• The Snack Bar

• The film screening will give a context to your visit.

• Hire a cab.
