Wahkpa Chu'gn Archaeological Site

1745 U.S. 2
406-265-6417

Nestled in the shadow of the Bear Paw Mountains, on the road to everywhere in north central Montana, WAHKPA CHU'GN (pronounced walk-pa-chew-gun) is the most extensive and best preserved Native American hunting ground buffalo bone deposit in the northern Great Plains.  Dating to 2,000 years ago, visitors are given a chance to view up close, with no glass cases or "incredible simulations," extensive Native American material and buffalo bone remains. This is NOT a sterile museum or tourist trap. Wahkpa Chu'gn is a real historical site.  You get to see actual archaeological excavations, with a 20 foot wall of buffalo bones, buffalo skulls and Native American arrowheads. All left where they were found by the archaeologists for you to experience.
