The bison stands atop a mound, overlooking his treasured Oklahoma plains that flow with native tall-grass and wildflowers. The statue is the result of 5 years of planning by the Sapulpa Areal Chamber of Commerce and it has been designated as one of the official 2007 Oklahoma Centennial projects. The sculptor of the bison is Jim Gilmore who has provided other bronze wildlife statues for Tulsa Riverparks and Natureworks.
