This is Hallowed Ground
On November 27, 1868, Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer led the 7th US Cavalry on a surprise dawn attack on a Cheyenne village led by Peace Chief Black Kettle. The event was an example of the tragic clash of cultures that occurred during the Great Plains Wars. It is also a place of remembrance and reflection for those who died here.

A sad chapter of our history. We took in the Visitors Center that offers a balanced prospective of the events that happened here. The Movie was well done and explained the events that led up to the battle here in great detail and the terrible events and atrocities of that day. We then headed down to the site of the battlefield and took in the overlook. We did not do the trail this trip, so that will go on the return list. We spent two hours here and with a trail hike you can see this site in 3 or 4 hours. They do not have an Active Bark Ranger program, but Daisy did get her Bark Ranger tag.
