The mission of the North American Bison Discovery Center (formerly the National Buffalo Museum) is to advocate for the restoration of the North American bison through education and outreach. We do this through educational programming and exhibits, including a live bison herd.

The North American Bison Discovery Center and the bison herd are located close to the World’s Largest Buffalo, near the intersection of Highway 281 and Interstate 94 (exit 258). Museum exhibits focus primarily on the history of bison in the Plains culture. The museum begins with a short film about the American bison and includes exhibits on the natural history of bison, Plains Indian artifacts, a wide variety of artwork, 19th-century firearms used by bison hunters, and a children’s learn and play space. In addition, the museum is excited to announce online ticketing and pasture tours during the summer season.
