The phase-one Visitor Center at the Vore Buffalo
Jump is open for the summer.
The building contains displays
related to the Vore Site as well
as sale items. Powder River
Energy Corporation provided an electrical hook-up and has donated
materials, equipment, and volunteer labor of their employees to
provide electricity to the site. In order to make a permanent structure on the
site a reality, Basin Electric’s Foundation made a
$5,000 cash donation and Croell Redimix provided gravel fines and concrete for
footings. Thanks to R.J. Olson Log Homes in Hulett for construction
of the cabin. John
Collins, Bruce Hanson,
and Dann Vore helped with
construction. Thanks
also to ELEC-TECH (Hulett), Energy Electric (Sundance), Knecht
Building Center (Spearfish), and the Crook County Road and Bridge
crew, and Ziegler
Lumber (Spearfish).
You can help fund our program by purchasing one or more logs at $40 each or by becoming a member of the Foundation! |

We'd like to thank John Flocchini at the Durham Buffalo Ranch in Wright for the donation of beautiful buffalo robe that hangs in the visitor center. We appreciate the loan of two tepees from the Cheyenne Nation Cultural Center. The tepees were erected with help from workers from the Wyoming Honor Conservation Camp.
