Where the Buffalo Roam

August 1997 - September 15, 2003
Venue: Canyon Visitor Center, Yellowstone National Park

As a partnership between the Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Yellowstone National Park, a special natural history exhibition titled Where the Buffalo Roam was developed for the enjoyment and education of YNP visitors. The focus of the exhibition being the Yellowstone bison herd, its significance as the last free-roaming herd of wild bison in North America, and its place in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Where the Buffalo Roam explored such issues as visitor safety, the relationship between bison and predators, brucellosis and other issues associated with bison migration, as well as conflicts within the scientific community.

Life-size taxidermy, photographs and replicas of art and other museum objects helped tell the story. The exhibition had a life of six years, and was updated periodically with new information and materials.
