Teepee, Big Buffalo, and Fighting Horses

The buffalo and hogan are still there, but the tepee and fighting horses are gone. The native goods store is enjoyable.

Indian Teepee, Buffalo, and Battling Horses

Outside of a large shop of Native American crafts and souvenirs, the big buffalo still stands and the teepee appears to have gotten a new covering. These two roadside attractions have been joined by a pair of huge, welded metal horses in the middle of a fight!

Indian Teepees, Buffalo

Large souvenir shop with some authentic Indian artifacts. I wouldn't go out of the way to see the buffalo and teepees, but it's a good place to stretch your legs and use the restroom.
