Steve’s take
A twenty-six-foot, sixty-ton concrete bison standing watch over the National Buffalo Museum and a real herd of live bison grazing below. Free to view from the hill; the museum charges a few bucks and is worth it. Two minutes off I-94 in Jamestown. The kids will want to walk underneath it.
