Take a Trip to Broken Wagon Bison Ranch

We’re traveling to Hobart, Indiana to visit Broken Wagon Bison where we’ll learn about the history of this one almost extinct animal, how it’s made a remarkable comeback, and what Bison are used for today.

We’ll visit the herd on a wagon tour and try a piece of Bison jerky. Afterwards, we’ll head to Industrial Revolution Eatery & Grille for lunch in an atmosphere that pays tribute to the American spirit of innovation and greatness.

On our way home we’ll make a stop at County Line Orchard where you’ll be able to stock up on items such as caramel apples, fudge and sweets in their expansive orchard. Fee includes transportation, wagon tour and jerky at Broken Wagon Bison, lunch and gratuity. Any purchase or fruit picking at County Line Orchard are on your own.
