Where the Buffalo Roam

Buffalo Interpretive Center, Lower Brule, SD

The National Bison Range, Montana.  Established in 1908 it is one of the oldest Wildlife Refuges in the nation and is home to about 350-500 of these animals.  Because of its open grasslands, the Bison Range is a place for the public to enjoy some excellent wildlife observation and photography.

Did You Know? On August 23, 1804, in South Dakota, Lewis and Clark feasted on their first buffalo.  While traveling through the Great Plains the Bison provided an excellent food source for the men. Each man ate about nine pounds of meat a day.  Lewis and Clark timeline and map. pdf 720 KB
