Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument
This area memorializes one of the last armed efforts of the Northern Plains Indians to preserve their way of life. Here
in 1876, 263 soldiers and attached personnel of the U.S. Army, including Lt. Col. George A. Custer, met death at the hands
of several thousand Lakota and Cheyenne warriors. Little Bighorn offers a wide range of activities including auto touring,
wildlife viewing, and interpretive opportunities.

Museum of the Rockies
The Museum of the Rockies believes that we need to safeguard the objects from our past that tell the stories of this
remarkable place, those that remind us who we are and where we came from. We believe in challenging visitors to understand
how objects that carry messages from our past can change the way we see the present, and the future. The Museum of the
Rockies stewards nearly 300,000 objects and 500,000,000 years of history. One of the finest paleontology collections in
North America is found under the museum’s roof, along with strong core collections in western history, textiles, Native
American artifacts, and photography. The museum’s permanent exhibitions, which tell the story of development in the
Northern Rockies over the past 4 billion years, are augmented by changing exhibits representing various facets of cultural
and natural history. Indoor exhibitions are complemented by a fully operational, on-site 19th century farm that helps
preserve the state’s agricultural traditions.
Location: 600 W. Kagy Blvd., on the south side of the Montana State University campus in Bozeman, MT
