Chief Plenty Coups State Park

Back

The Medicine Spring on this former homestead of Chief Plenty Coups invites everyone to meditate upon their shared occupation of the West. The revered Apsáalooke chief chose diplomacy over war to protect reservation lands coveted by settlers and railroad builders.

Situated within the Crow Reservation in south central Montana, this park was the home of Plenty Coups the last chief of the Crow. Plenty Coups' log home and store remain as evidence of the chief's efforts to create a more amiable relationship with the encroaching white settlers. The revered chief chose diplomacy over war to protect reservation lands coveted by settlers and railroad builders.
