Interim Visitor Center Plan

The National Park Service is proposing to remove the observation room and interpretive patio from the Visitor Center at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in order to facilitate the construction of an all weather multipurpose room on top of the same foot print. On a busy summer day the park will host up to 13 interpretive presentations with 100-200 individuals per presentation. Currently, the only place to host interpretive presentations is a patio under a fiberglass overhang outside of the observation room. Park visitors are exposed to heat, cold, wind, rain, lightening, background noise from visitors' conversations, loud vehicular traffic, and associated air pollution. This environmental assessment examines in detail four alternatives: No Action, Replace the observation room & interpretive patio area with a multipurpose room (proposed action), Long term implementation of the General Management and Development Concept Plans 1986 (revised 1995), and Construct a new visitor center to be leased from GSA (General Services Administration) off the existing battlefield boundary at either Garryowen or another location near the junction of I-90 and Highway 212.
