The BILLINGS GAZETTE of March 10 had an article regarding the moving of the museum's collection and archives by the National Park Service to Tuscon Arizona from the battlefield near Hardin.
What a disaster this would be for the LBH and the state of Montana. Once moved they would never come back. Imagine, moving the Alamo to Mexico City or the LBH monument to Central Park. Hundreds of thousands of visitors come to the LBHNM each year. Many hundreds utilize the archives. All of this material needs and should stay in Montana. As noted in the article, Libbie Custer et al would be turning over in their graves.
Wheather a Custerphile,a concerned Montanan,or have an interest in regional touristism. I urge you to conntact your Senators and Representive as well as the Governor and the National Park Service. This would also include the local chambers and mayors of the surrounding areas and join the support for the collection and archives to remain in Montana. There is little time left.
