On Memorial Day we visited Little Bighorn Battleground, previously called Custer's last stand. Very impressive! Acres and acres of rolling green hills. Nice museum and a talk by a ranger that was enlightening and entertaining. You could almost see Indians coming over the hills. At each battleground there is a speaker you can touch that gives a recording of info about battle at that site or you can listen on your cell phone. Really well done. It was pouring down rain so we didn't get to walk any of the battleground but it was still impressive just driving to each site. The name was changed when someone realized there were other Americans who were involved besides white men! So now they have markers where Indian bodies were found as well as markers for the white soldiers. Great piece of history.
