SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, UNITED STATES, June 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — A dinosaur museum like no other is bringing the past to life. The Indiana Dinosaur Museum does not open until July 12, 2024. But animals have already started to arrive. A few reptiles have arrived, including alligators and snakes, the goats have made their home, and all are excited to welcome the buffalo.

On Tuesday morning, June 18, 2024, at 10:00 am the Indiana Dinosaur Museum will release buffalo into a restored prairie. A prairie that at one time would have been filled with buffalo.

A little-known South Bend story was that the Western Prairie began right here. The Indiana Dinosaur Museum sits along the Continental Divide.
