The Orleans Bison is restored

ORLEANS – The Orleans Bison is restored.

Advanced Art students, Jamie Hardin, Amanda Osborne, Austin Whittaker, and Sophia Evans worked to restore the bison to its original form along with art instructor, Dr. Morgan.  Amanda Osborne and Austin Whittaker lead the restoration efforts.  

The bison will now be sprayed with a protective coating at Wheat’s Off Road in Orleans before it goes back to the Bicentennial Park on West Vincennes Road, a former buffalo trace and connection to the “Vincennes Trace”.   

The bison was the town’s official Indiana Bison-tennial Art project in 2016.
