Erected in 1959, the Jamestown Buffalo was the first true giant roadside sculpture built in North
Dakota. It measures in at 46 feet long, 26 feet in height, and a hefty 60 tons - making it the official
World's Largest Buffalo. It was fabricated out of 8 inch steel beaming, 3/8 inch reinforcing rod,
1/4 inch wire mesh, and gunnite (sprayed cement). The original cost estimate to build the beast
was $4600 but the actual cost was more like $8500 when completed. He was near our campsite!!!
