Montana Town Where ‘Custer’s Last Stand’ Took Place Up For Auction

[Captain Long Story, US Cavalry]

That'd be pretty funny if some Indians bought it and opened up a casino.

 

GARRYOWEN, Mont. (CBS Seattle) – It was where the Battle of Little Bighorn started and where Chief Sitting Bull camped out, and now this historic town could be yours.

 

Garryowen, Mont., a town that’s located between two other major tourist attractions, Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore, is on the auction block by Williams & Williams — the same firm that sold Buford, Wyo., the smallest town in America.

 

Garryowen could be bid for online through the site auctionnetwork.com. The 7.7 acre lot contains two buildings. One is the “Town Hall” that the site describes as a “15,400+/- sf three-level building containing an income-producing convenience store, sandwich shop, retail space, U.S. Post Office and (a) penthouse residence.”

Only thing is it's NOT where the battlefield is.Or the 7th Cavalry Memorial and National Cemetery is.It's where the Custer Battlefield Museum is and is about 2 or 3 miles from the actual battleground.Pretty much Garryowen,Mt was built as a tourist stop off along the old US 87/I 90.

Learn something new everyday. I always thought it was in the Dakotas someplace.

The Little Bighorn is east of Billings MT. I think the confusion because the region was kind of generically referred to as The Dakotas back then.
