Vandalia, Illinois - Indian Teepees, Buffalo, Pumpkin

I live in Vandalia and the teepees and buffalo are in St. Elmo, Illinois, at Driftstone Pueblo, and can be seen from the interstate at the St. Elmo exit. The pumpkin is north of Vandalia on rt 51 on the south edge of Ramsey. [K Miller, 03/30/2008]

On U.S. 51, there's an Indian souvenir shop near Vandalia, featuring a couple of tepees and a giant concrete buffalo ... and two Indian blankets for $8, if you're looking for a cheap souvenir. It's at I-55 and 51. Up the road from that, I believe somewhere between Vandalia and Pana is a giant concrete pumpkin. Not spectacular, but might as well have a look if you're up that way.
