History is many things to many people:
Digging for facts.
Tracing steps.
Understanding the circumstances - and decisions made - at that moment in time.
Retelling stories of impact.
And gaining understanding and wisdom from the past.
When you follow the Trail to the Little Bighorn, we invite you to do all the above with the goal of interpreting the many complex and interwoven stories of what happened out here.
The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument – the geographical, physical and chronological epicenter – is a good place to start. Then visit the other sites, talk with the curators, rangers, guides and historians to gain their insights. Your journey will leave you with a greater respect for this pivotal moment in history.
