Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is a place to honor and reflect on the sacrifices made during the Battle of the Little Bighorn, which took place on June 25 and 26, 1876. The battle was fought between the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors and the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry, led by Lt. Col. George Custer. The monument preserves the site of the battle and serves as a memorial to those who fought in it. It also includes the Custer National Cemetery, which is the final resting place for many of the soldiers who died in the battle. The site is a complex geography of dissected uplands, rugged bluffs, the Little Bighorn River, and adjacent plains, with varying vegetation. Visitors can explore the battlefield and learn about the history of the battle and its significance in American history
