Big Horn County, Montana

In southeastern Montana, where the plains meet the mountains, lies Big Horn County. It’s a land of contrasts of ancient history and modern life. The county gets its name from the Bighorn River, which cuts through its heart.
Crow Agency is home to the Crow Nation’s tribal headquarters. But the county seat belongs to Hardin. You’ll find the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument here, marking the site of Custer’s Last Stand.
The Bighorn Mountains loom in the distance, as a rugged playground for hikers and hunters. Summers are hot and dry. Winters can be brutal. Agriculture drives the local economy, with vast ranches and farms. But for those who call Big Horn County home, the wide-open spaces and big sky country make it all worthwhile.
