The Washita Battlefield National Historic Site near Cheyenne is such a beautiful and peaceful place that it's hard to imagine the horrific scene that unfolded here on November 27, 1868. Its a story that everyone should know about, Oklahomans for sure but all Americans should know what happened here because it did change our way of life forever on the southern plains.

The historic site is located near the town of Cheyenne, which is situated in western Oklahoma halfway between Amarillo, TX and Oklahoma City, OK. Cheyenne is approximately 30 miles north of I-40 on Hwy 283 and approximately 20 miles east of the Texas border.
The photos in my videos from the The Washita Battlefield National Historic Site were before they renovated it and moved it I guess up the hill. It's good to see how they've been continuing the displays. Last time I was there, it'd just moved. The videos you can watch there are excellent and the Rangers are excellent as well. Thanks for posting this again. Peace.
