About the Business
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is a museum and tourist attraction located on Battlefield Tour Road in Crow Agency, Montana, United States. This area commemorates the historic battle between the US Army's 7th Cavalry and various Native American tribes, including the Lakotas, Cheyennes, and Arapahos.

Visitors can explore the complex history of the battle, learn about the different groups involved, and see the monuments that have been erected to honor the fallen soldiers and Native American warriors.

Reviews
"Great place with proud native American history. This is where Custer was killed for trying to attack local natives. Was disappointed to see that it's used as a cemetery by relatives of the soldiers that were killed during the battle. As a native I found this spot very inspiring as a location where natives stood their ground and fought back against the murderous u.s. soldiers. Many markers scattered throughout the battle field where soldiers were killed. Rangers were very friendly and knowledgeable. Nice gift shop and worth the price of admission. Will definitely be visiting again in future road trips"
"A very moving experience visiting the Little Bighorn Battlefield, with a lot of boards to learn more about what happened leading up to, during and after the battle. To be standing at the top of Last Stand Hill knowing that, over 100 years ago, fierce fighting took place between the US 7th Calvary and Native Americans in that very spot, was indescribable. Seeing pictures online is good, but there's nothing quite like getting to experience it in person and definitely worth a visit if you're interested in history. Don't forget to have a look inside the museum too, very insightful and provides more information about both sides of the battle. Would without a doubt, recommend visiting here."
"On my Christmas 2023 road trip from Seattle to Montana my partner brought me to Little Bighorn Battlefield. We are avid learners of all human history and have began traveling together so he can show me what he has taught me so I may experience it with my own eyes. The battlefield was loud with echoes of its past and the endless skies speak in hymns as it watches over its wandering wildlife amongst the headstones. I'm eager to travel back one day at the chance to shed more tears in deeper learning of one of America's historical battles."
"Very moving experience. The rangers here are amazing! Very knowledgeable about the history. They were so friendly, made you feel very welcome. Went above and beyond to make you enjoy your time here. Wish to thank them again for supplying eclipse glasses to view the event. Really made the day for many people."
"Went on the day of the eclipse and it was great! We stayed the night in Hardin so we could get an early start here. The staff were great here! Woman at the gate mentioned they may have some solar eclipse glasses in the visitor center stored somewhere to see the eclipse with. I mentioned that to the staff at the visitor center and they started looking around, after sometime before the height of the eclipse the woman at the gatehouse found them and they put them out for everyone to take to see the event. There was also a gentleman there that had worked there for sometime and he was so full of knowledge about the battle and officers. We loved hearing him talk before he played the video. Definitely worth the drive to come visit!"
