Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument













 Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument
Crow Agency, Montana
October 2018

The battlefield was about and hour and 45 minutes north of where we were staying in Buffalo, Wyoming. The battlefield is broken into two parts, Last Stand HIll and the Reno Benteen Defence Site, 4 1/2 miles away. The markers of the fallen, cavalry and Native Americans, were scatter out farther than just those on Last Stand Hill. The museum in the visitor's center told the stories and showed the artifacts from the battle. The national monument also includes the Custer National Cemetery, which was open to veterans of all wars until closing to further interments in 1978.
