Worlds Largest Buffalo!!!

Frontier Village is a tourist attraction just off Interstate 94 in Jamestown and includes a NUMBER of attractions including the “World’s Largest Buffalo” (a concrete bison statue named Dakota Thunder,) Frontier Village (a re-creation of a pioneer town featuring actual historic buildings which have been moved to the site from all over the state,) and the National Buffalo Museum

There is no ADMISSION charge to get into Frontier Village or to see Dakota Thunder, and a small fee to the National Buffalo Museum, totally worth the price for the opportunity to see North American Bison in a family-friendly environment. You can even get a ride in a real stagecoach. Next time you’re driving by on Interstate 94, stop in for a visit!

The buffalo is built of concrete, 26 feet tall, 46 feet long, and weighs 60 tons. Its butt faces the Interstate, which did not arrive until several years after the buffalo. His gonads are in the same all-star category as Albert the Bull (Audubon, Iowa) and Babe the Blue Ox (Klamath, California).
