About Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

This monument marks the site of the June 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn, where Custer's 7th Cavalry fought Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors. Visit the 7th Cavalry Monument on Last Stand Hill and the Indian Memorial, a circular sandstone structure with a bronze sculpture of warriors riding to battle. White marble markers show where soldiers fell and red granite markers honor warriors. A tour road leads to the Reno-Benteen entrenchment site, and Custer National Cemetery is part of the monument.
