Did you know, standing on a tall hill in Jamestown, ND, at the end of Louis L’Amour Lane, you will find the World’s Largest Buffalo Monument. The 26 foot tall, 60 ton concrete giant has been standing watch over Jamestown since 1959. Created by sculptor Elmer Petersen, it has proven to be one of the most popular roadside attractions for over 50 years. In 2010, the World’s Largest Buffalo was named Dakota Thunder. The North American Bison Discovery Center and a live herd of Buffalo graze on site, once including an albino buffalo “White Cloud,” roamed there too.
