"If we’re going to compete as a destination...we need this iconic piece that will draw people; that will identify us as the [QC] instead of just traveling through." - Lynn Hunt - former @visitquadcities VP

The Bison Bridge isn’t solely about bison or the bridge...

It’s also about the Mississippi River and getting millions of people who are just passing by on I80 to stop and experience it.

Ken Burns' documentary, "The American Buffalo," vividly portrays the heart-wrenching tale of the near-extinction of the majestic buffalo and the Indigenous-led resurgence that breathed new life into this iconic species. 🦬
