Bison are once again roaming free on the prairies of Minnesota.The release of the large animals is part of the state’s sesquicentennial celebration. The bison were released onto 220 acres of land in Washington County Saturday morning.

More than 200 people showed up to see the return of the large animals return to the nature at the Belwin Nature Center in Afton.
