347 US Highway 212 (P.O. Box 246) Crow Agency, MT , 59022-0246 Phone: (406) 638-2270 Website The Custer Battlefield Trading Post is in the heart of Crow Country, directly across from the Little Bighorn Battlefield. Established in 1985, this is not your average gift shop. The massive log and frame structure is the first thing to transport you to the past, as the building was designed after the 1877 Old Fort Custer Hospital. Once you're inside, the journey continues. Rustic walls display exquisite traditional Crow Indian creations, including a beaded elk hide wedding blanket, numerous paintings, handcrafted turquoise and silver jewelry, and a large collection of fabulously beaded Crow and Cheyenne cradles. They carry a full range of souvenirs and collectibles. From Custer key chains to fully beaded Crow style cradles, they have it all. They also have a full-service cafe, and plenty of things for the kids to look at.
Hours of operation: Summer: Monday through Sunday 8:00am to 9:00 pm. Winter: Hours vary, call for details.
Plenty of free parking.
