custer battlefield trading post

The gift shop had some very nice items, but very over prices, so we didn't bring anything home. It's nice to have a momento of a trip, but with $40 Christmas ornaments and $30 replica bullets, it was not what we expected. After traveling across the U S through most of the landmarks and parks, this was the most expensive we saw. Needless to say, they weren't selling anything. Very disappointing

Custer last stand reenactment not what you expected over price parking awful.nothing like other historical show very poor only good thing were the horses badly planned shows you nothing

Growing up I saw many movies about and heard many references to General Custer and his last stand. This battlefield, near the current Crow Indian reservation, is where it happened. Besides the battlefield there is a large veteran cemetery, some tipis to inspect, a building with artifacts of the time and the battlefield itself plus the 7th Cavalry cemetery. To get to where it happened one walks up the hill to the knoll area where Custer made his last stand. The area suffered a fire some years back and the gravestones are surrounded by blackened land. It is also enclosed to prevent people from taking souvenirs. At the top of the knoll is the monument to the men killed with their names. All the men are supposedly buried in a mass grave under the monument, except CUSTER who was exhumed and buried at WEST POINT, in New York.Look for CUSTER's tomb stone, white with black face!It is a strange feeling being at an actual well known spot in US history. You wonder how the boy general, a lowly Second Lieutenant who rose to Brigadier General (and buried as Brevet Major General) was smart enough to earn such promotions against LEE's Confederate troops yet dumb enough to get himself and the Seventh US Cavalry slaughtered in one of the great (and last) victories of the INDIAN over the so-called advanced, cultured and sophisticated white man. Personally, I think he was just lucky in the Civil War to be in the right place at the right time and just unlucky against the INDIANS to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Had he waited for his superiors to show up with more troops things could have been different. What we need to remember about our esteemed NATIVE AMERICAN friends is that they were great fighters and our military could not defeat them in the traditional way. We had to destroy 60 million buffalo to effectively end their way of life and bring to an end what was probably the greatest light cavalry in history - the INDIAN horseman.I understand from a Montana native that for a price you can ride with the local CROW Indians who will show you how the battle developed and more about the Indian point of view.One more note: Over the area you will see red crosses scattered among many small white crosses. The white crosses mark where various cavalrymen fell and the red crosses (a more recent addition) mark where the Sioux, Cheyenne, or Arapaho brave fell in battle.So far, I have been here three times and there is just something about it that makes me want to return.

We stopped here for a late lunch after we toured the Battlefield. It was a great choice. The servers were native Americans and the most polite and friendly we have encountered. I had to order the Buffalo (Bison) Burger as I do everywhere it's available. With a side order of Frybread and honey I was in paradise. Cooked to perfection and one of the better ones I've had. My wife got the Indian Tacos and they were delicious. Prices were very reasonable and there is NO TAX! There is a sizable gift shop filled with Native art and souvenirs. There are only a couple of places to choose from that are close but, don't pass this place up.

This is a really nice gift shop and a great little restaurant too with a lovely view over the battlefield area. There’s nothing else nearby as an alternative so it’s just as well that this place is as decent as it is

We stopped at the Custer Battlefield Trading Post after touring the Little Big Horn Memorial. The store is filled with wonderful native art and jewelry as well as souvenirs and tee shirts and too many things to mention. We also had lunch in the cafe and it was good. I had the Indian taco and my husband had the buffalo burger. Service was great. Everyone there had a smile and were very pleasant. One of the sales associates took the time to talk with me about the native jewelry I was wearing that I had bought at an antique store. She verified everything I had been told about the jewelry and told me even more about it. I was very pleased with her friendliness and willingness to share her knowledge.

this is an awsome stop if going through montana, wyoming area, its really interesting to see how this battle was executed , its easy tro understand the history while listening then getting to go on the trail custe actually took to his death and his men, plus the food is great across the road and the indian art is beautiful and the jewlery is handmade

We stayed nearby in our RV to tour the Battlefield, and the campground staff recommended this place. We thought it was a tourist joint -wrong! The food and service were great and the restaurant was filled with a mx of tourists, local Crow Indians, ranchers,etc having Sunday lunch. We ordered Indian Tacos with great fry bread you finish off with honey. The shop had a huge range of merchandise...tourist goodies but also fine quality Pendleton goods with beautiful Indian motifs. Very friendly staff, lovely restrooms. Marvelous spot, right across from the Park Service entrance to Little Big Horn.

What a great place to find those wonderful things to purchase while on vacation. The Indian jewelry is stunning and the prices range from moderate to expensive!Was able to find several piece to purchase as well as a wooden bison!Great stop!

Unfortunately we couldn't eat at the café (too late for lunch, too early for dinner). We did, however, spend a long time in the shop. Superb Plains Indians craftsmanship alongside cheaper, touristy stuff (careful, not all genuine Indian). The beadwork and quillwork for sale are beautiful!

Review mentioning KFC is NOT the Trading Post, but shopping center next door. Trading Post is almost directly across from National Monument entrance and looks like a Wooden Fort, complete with wagons, tepees, and 7th Cavalry guidons flying. Fun place for a simple lunch - nothing fancy, but nice selection with some American Indian items on the menu. Trading Post is much larger inside than it appears, so lots of items to see and shopping is excellent. Hard not to pick up something from this fascinating area. Stop here before, during or after your battlefield tours. There is no food service in the Battlefield area or Visitors' Center.

We had just toured the park and decided we would eat. There was just one place that we could see and it contained a KFC. We went into he building and found the restrooms so dirty and disgusting that we decided it would not be a good place to eat. We left without making any purchases. The dirty parking lot should have given us the first clue. This is the only avenue around thus if you must eat or make store purchase this is the only one.

Great place to visit. Just outside the Battlefield entrance. Have painted, crow-style tipis out front. Anything you could think of is probably in there, as is a cafe/dining. They also have lots of Crow beadwork hanging on the walls. And just when I thought I'd seen it all, I looked up and the ceiling was covered in craftwork! Prices a bit high on some of the craftwork, though.

カフェが併設されているお土産屋です。時間をずらしていったので空いていましたが、このあたりには食事できるところがここと他にはKFCくらいしかないので、お昼時は混んでいるかもしれません。カフェではカスターサンドというのがおすすめということでした。聞くとチキンサンドだということで、勝手にササミのパサパサしたイメージを持ってあまり期待していなかったのですが、食べてみたらパサパサどころかジューシーな肉でとても柔らかく、あっという間にたいらげてしまいました。カスターサンドおすすめです。
