Just southwest of Garden City, the Sandsage Bison Range
Wildlife Area is home to the oldest publicly owned bison herd in Kansas – bison
have been there since the 1920s. The range was established in 1916 by President
Woodrow Wilson – it was formerly part of the Kansas National Forest.
The range preserves more than 3,700 acres of Sandsage
Prairie, home to mule deer, black-tailed prairie dogs and western meadowlarks
in addition to the bison. The bison herd has continued to grow, with tours and
other activities now available such as wildflower walks, guided bison tours and
other educational events.
