Wellknown Buffalo Cafe is located on I90, only 3 miles south of the entrance to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument on the Crow Reservation in Montana. We are easily accessible from two exits and receive many visitors on their way to Montana's famous Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks!

Our cafe/coffee house is part of the Wellknown Buffalo Living Culture Campus. This little know historic property is adjacent to the Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument and is named after the great grandmother of the current owner, Peggy White Wellknown Buffalo. "Sha Eh Gush" (Wellknown Buffalo) was a traditional Crow Indian woman, a mother to many, an herbalist and a healer. She built her own home board by board and lived on wild game and produce from her garden. Her powerful medicine was sacred and she was well respected in the community.

Whether they are coming for an extended Tipi Stay or a one day visit, visitors enjoy the convenience of a cafe, coffee shop, and authentic Native art and gift shop all on one campus. These social enterprises support the work of a 501c3 non-profit organization food bank which is also located on the Wellknown Buffalo Campus.Image title
