The Reenactment is located just south of Crow Agency, MT and between the historic points of Custer's Last Stand Hill, Reno's Charge / Retreat, and Reno - Benteen Battlefield. Held at Medicine Tail Coulee and Minneconjou Ford, this is where Custer's Battalion was closest to the village and where E and F Troops were sent to attack the Indian village. This battle is located between the Little Bighorn National Park/Museum and Garryowen/Custer's Battlefield Museum.
Witness Bvt. Major General Armstrong Custer, played by Steve Alexander (recognized by Congress to be today's foremost Custer Historian), and the 7th US Cavalry Troopers come out of the Medicine Tail Coulee and clash with authentic Indian Braves as they both cross the Little Bighorn River, showcasing their great riding ability, to recreate that famous day of June 25th, 1876. This reenactment briefly reviews the history of the interaction of the Whites and the Native Americans in the West, Native American culture and Horsemanship, and the major battles of the Northern Tribes. Experience with all your senses this epic battle of 600 7th US Cavalry and over 1,800 Warriors of Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe Indian Nations. The Battle of the Little Bighorn Reenactment started almost twenty years ago, to share more of the Native American story of the Indian Wars and to have the reenactment on the ground where the teepees of the Indian Village were located, between Custer's Last Stand Hill and Reno-Benteen Battlefield.

These artifacts, weapons, tools, heirlooms and memorabilia are on exhibit in the museum's 12,000 sq. ft. of floor space in three small buildings. May through December is the annual open period. Additionally, each year an extensive program of field trips, guided tours, lectures and living history special events are presented. Visitors to Jim Gatchell Museum in Buffalo, WyomingProfessional and student use of the museum's collections and resources is routinely high. Graduate students, primarily from western U.S. and Canadian universities, use the museum's resource materials and collections in their thesis and dissertation research. Authors writing on a wide range of American frontier topics, as well as anthropologists and historians, also utilize the museum's holdings. It is, however, individuals, vacationing families and tour groups that make up the majority of the museum's annual visitors.
For four decades, 1950's-1990's, the residents of Johnson County, Wyoming, and their friends and supporters throughout the state and nation, have built, maintained and nurtured the Gatchell Museum. It has grown into an excellent museum of the Frontier West for this region. Museums, in general, are clearly one of our most effective facilities for the preservation and transfer of our nation's culture and heritage. In that sense, the Gatchell Museum is truly a national treasure. An enormous amount of professional and volunteer effort is devoted each year to continual museum improvement and to operations and programs that serve the public.
The Museum can be contacted by mail at P. O. Box 596, Buffalo, Wyoming 82834, by telephone (307) 684-9331, by e-mail Jmuseum@trib.com or by fax (307) 684-0354.
