June 27, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Join the Museum of the Beartooths on Friday, June 27 for a day-long, immersive journey through the rich cultural history of the Crow Tribe in Stillwater County.
The day begins at 9:00 a.m. at the Museum with an introductory presentation by Museum Director Penny Redli and Casey Olsen of Columbus High School, offering a historical overview of the Crow Tribe’s enduring influence in the region.
At 9:00 a.m., participants will board a comfortable bus for a guided tour with stops at key historic and archaeological sites:
- Second Crow Agency Site near Absarokee
Learn about the in-depth archaeological research conducted at this significant site, active from 1875 to 1884, and explore the artifacts and stories that have brought its history to life. - Stillwater Buffalo Jump (Ammishéelahpee) near Nye
After a delicious lunch provided by the Fishtail Store, the tour continues to this sacred hunting ground, in use as early as 300 A.D. A vital location for multiple Native tribes, the buffalo jump offers a powerful glimpse into the traditional lifeways of the Crow people.
