The property is now the medical recovery facility and the Freedom Pointe facility. These were built long after the buffs were moved.

The last time they were VIEWABLE they were pastured at the NE corner of BUENA VISTA and OLD MILL RUN. They went bye-bye AFTER someone put a grandchild between a MAMA and a BABY Buffalo.(to get a photo). As should be expected...the MAMA "charged" to protect her BABY.(nature at its best) LAWSUIT followed and that was the end of our Buffalo viewings. The Creekside Villas were planned many moon prior and were NOT the reason for the loss of the Buffalo. Origionally..the Buffalo were going to be displayed further South in The Vilages. Just like they had been moved on at least 2 prior occasions,to accomodate the building schedule. PLEASE don't think for one-minute that it was the fault of the Morse family that we lost the viewings of the Buffalo. I am just grateful for the YEARS we were all able to enjoy this wonderful display.
