Jamestown  (CSi)  Frontier Village in Jamestown, along with the National Buffalo Museum have reported strong visitor numbers this year.

On Wednesday’ Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund said the month of August this year ended with strong visitor counts overall a  double digit increase over the 2019 numbers.  In 2020 the numbers were significantly lower due to pandemic travel and other restrictions.  He said that vendors at Frontier Village were pleasantly surprised by the good sales this past summer.

He added that Frontier Village is open through September 19 this year with vendors open.  Otherwise the Village is open year ’round for visitors to drop by.

He also spoke about the recent Eide Bailey  report on the Bison World project.  He said when all the “passion,” about the project is set aside, the report said the project is doable, and the report is a prudent investment, to point out to the state of North Dakota, when local officials and developers visit Bismarck to request Legacy Fund dollars.
