Geocache Description:

This is located by a Buffalo Ranch. Take a minute or two and stop and check out the Ranch. Located in LaGrange County Indiana.

It all began in December of 1998, so we thought. Little did we know it had actually begun in 1939 with the purchase of a farm in the small town of Wolcottville, Indiana. Grandpa, Everett Cook, purchased the farm. The farm included a house, barn, and 83 acres for a grand total of $5000.00. After being told it was the worst investment he had ever made, he was able to pay it off with two good years of popcorn. This worst investment now homes our dream. The same striving spirit of innovative and visionary ideas of grandpa was passed down to his son, Wayne Cook, a former successful business owner and inheritor of the farm. Further, this same spirit now thrives in a 3rd generation. A young hometown boy from Wolcottville had a dream, a dream of raising bison. Having traveled with his family for a number of years to Wyoming, he became fascinated with the bison. Picture taking, trips through Yellowstone, and visiting buffalo museums was not enough for Peter Cook. After becoming a member of the National Bison Association along with extensive research and of course convincing his father that raising this seemingly wild animal was a sensible idea, we got our first thirty bison in December of 1998, thus establishing Cook's Bison Ranch. They traveled in strong blizzard conditions from Tennessee and from Bourbon and Bremen, Indiana. Just as the once endangered bison have begun to quickly multiply, our herd of 30 has grown to 300 with numbers continually growing and our 83-acre farm to 900 acres which now hosts group tours of all sizes including school groups. First to find is a free tour buffalo wagon tour for one.
