Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is a memorial to one of the most pivotal battles in U.S. history — here, the 7th Cavalry of the U.S. Army lost their lives to Lakota and Cheyenne warriors who were fighting to protect their ancestral homeland and their nomadic way of life. The brutal battle was the site of Lieutenant Colonel Custer's famous last stand; it was also the last major victory for the Native Americans of the Northern Plains. The monument tells the story of the fight, taking you through the same hills and illustrating how the landscape played a role in the outcome.
