About Rosebud Battlefield State Park

Grasslands here mark the ground where Sioux and Cheyenne warriors met General Crook's troops on June 17, 1876, a fight the Northern Cheyenne called The Battle Where the Girl Saved Her Brother. The park preserves a large stretch of this battlefield, designated a National Historic Landmark, and operates as a day use area with hiking, hunting, picnicking and wildlife viewing across the open terrain.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
