After touring Little Bighorn Battlefield (aka Custer's Last Stand) we stopped at Custer Battlefield Trading Post on the chance that they served food and assumed this was just another tourist trap. Not so! To our surprise the food was fine, well prepared and tasty (my wife and I had the buffalo burger); and the store carries quality merchandise and jewelry. The quality was so good that we purchased a sterling stone bracelet (from SW Arizona) and then some beads (made locally by the Crow) in a belt buckle and earrings. The highlight of our visit to the Post was meeting and conversing with 'Putt' and his wife Jill, owners of the Post. Both are personable and knowledgeable about Indian artifacts. 'Putt' is a valuable resource of knowledge and my wife and I truly enjoyed learning about Indian antiques/artifacts. This is truly a must stop when one visits the Battlefield; a unique restaurant and store located Crow Agency, MT. Go to www.rickpicks.com for other reviews, critiques and essays with links to area attractions and a more detailed review of this park as well as reviews of restaurants, etc.
