You might be wondering: Why is a bison giving travel advice? Let’s just say Billie’s ancestors created Indiana’s first “highway,” known as the Buffalo Trace. Thousands of bison crossed the Ohio River during their yearly migration from the Falls of the Ohio in Clarksville to Vincennes, Ind., creating the original path.
