The purpose of the Hall of Fame, which began in 1980, is to honor those who have done the most for the North American Buffalo, inclusive of both historic individuals as well as those today, which through their dedication and conscious effort further the restoration of bison.
The administration of the Hall of Fame transitioned to the NBF when the American Bison Association and the National Buffalo Association merged and the foundation was created.
