Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument intends to move to a fully cashless fee system and only accept credit card, debit card, mobile or electronic payments for entrance and permit fees by Nov. 1, 2022. Fees at Little Bighorn are collected at the entrance gate and in the visitor center during the winter.
Visitors are encouraged to purchase an America the Beautiful Interagency Pass online before arriving. Prepaid debit and credit cards are available at many retailers in Billing, MT and Sheridan, WY.
Entrance fees are an important source of revenue used to improve the visitor experience in national parks, including road and facility repairs and maintenance, trail improvements, installation of accessible exhibits, visitor, and resource protection services, and more. Moving to a cashless system allows parks to be better stewards of visitor dollars by reducing the amount of time park staff spend managing cash, increasing the amount of fee revenue available to support critical projects and visitor services, and improving accountability and reducing risk.
If you have questions or concerns about this change to fee collection, please contact Acting Superintendent, Christy Fleming, 406-638-3201 or Lead Fee Technician, Alvina Morning, 406-638- 3204.
