On June 8, Carrie Ida Edinger, director of Museum at the Bighorns, announced that on Saturday, June 13, from 10:00 am – 11:00 am there will be a program titled, Custer’s Last Battle; A Historical Archaeology View.

Dr. Richard Allan Fox will present his historical archaeology view of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Using innovative and standard archaeological techniques, combined with historical documents and Indian eyewitness accounts. Dr. Fox specializes in historical archaeology and the prehistory of the Great Plains.

This program is generously supported by Security State Bank Wyoming. All are invited to attend.

She also announced that this is the final week to see the Voices & Votes Exhibit, which will close on Friday, June 12. This exhibition examines the nearly 250-year-old American experiment of a government “of, by and for the people,” and how each generation since continues to question how to form “a more perfect union.”

This exhibit has been made possible in Sheridan, Wyoming at the Museum at the Bighorns by the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne and the exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a unique collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES).
