This June, SCLT Explore History will take participants beyond the classroom and into one of the most significant historic landscapes in the Northern Plains.

Join the Sheridan Community Land Trust for a field trip to the Battle of the Rosebud 150th Anniversary Commemoration at Rosebud Battlefield State Park on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

Hosted by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in partnership with tribal nations and community participants, the daylong commemoration honors the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Rosebud through ceremony, remembrance, and cultural traditions. Morning events begin at 10 a.m. and include a keynote speaker and wreath-laying honoring all who fell during the battle. Tribal riders arriving on horseback from Trail Creek, a reenactment of “Where the Girl Saved Her Brother,” a Victory Dance, and a community meal will follow later in the day.

This Explore History program is an opportunity to respectfully experience history in the place where it happened, while learning about the continuing cultural significance of the battlefield and the people connected to it.
