Directions to Bison

Belwin's bison herd is located off of Division Street in Afton, Minnesota. Since early July, the bison now reside in a large prairie and it may be difficult to see them. We are in the process of raising money for a observation platform to allow visitors to see these magnificent animals. We need your help to get this done so please go to our Support page and do what you can. Thanks!

Belwin headquarters, Belwin Center and the Valley Branch Environmental Learning Center, are not at this location. Please see these directions.
