National Buffalo Museum

Description

The National Buffalo Museum has exhibits that focus primarily on the history of bison in the plains culture, but offer something for every interest. Displays include Plains Indian artifacts; a wide variety of artwork; the 19th century firearms used by bison hunters; remains of prehistoric bison; a children’s room featuring wildlife of North Dakota; and video presentation about the history of bison. In addition to our museum exhibits, the National Buffalo Museum maintains a live bison herd and and conducts educational programs. The museum plays a vital role in local, state, and national tourism and helps to promote the bison industry. Together, the National Buffalo Museum and bison herd contribute to the distinctive character of Jamestown, the "Buffalo City".
