National Cemetery-Veterans from all the different wars, including the Vietnam Conflict are buried here.
The place where General Custer went down. On June 28, 1876, the bodies of Custer & his command are hastily buried in shallow graves at or near where they fell. In 1877 Custer's remains are interred at the US Military Acadamy at West Point, N.Y.
Last Stand Hill-On this knoll Custer & approximately 41 men shoot their horses for breastworks & make a stand, Approximately 10 men, including Custer, his brother Tom & Lt William Cooke, are found in the vicinity of the present 7th Cavalry memorial. Other soldiers are found within the enclosure are below the knoll.
