We specifically picked Jamestown as our next stop in order
to visit the National Buffalo Museum. The 6000 sq ft facility focuses primarily
on the history of bison in the plains culture.
The museum has exhibits,
educational programs, and a live exhibit – a herd of about 30 bison, including
one rare albino bison. We never did find the live herd but the exhibits were
very well done and interesting.
Even though we did not see the "live" herd we did find this big dude out in the field - advertised as the largest buffalo in the world!
Interesting factoid: on our way to Jamestown we stopped for
lunch in Carrington and learned this small community has been home to five of
N. Dakota’s governors with the latest having been in office since 2010.
