The Project
To commemorate Floyd County's 200th birthday in 2019, 20 bison statues were given to art teachers at New Albany-Floyd County School Corporation elementary schools to be decorated with students.

Two unique designs were produced by teachers and students at each school. Some designs were selected to align with the schools' art curriculums, and others to highlight important aspects of the county's history.

Now, members of this colorful herd have found homes all around Floyd County! The Bicentennial Bison are on display at nine other local landmarks.
