Chief Plenty Coups House and Store Repair and Preservation Decision Notice

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has released a Decision Notice to repair and preserve two structures at Chief Plenty Coups State Park on the Crow Indian Reservation in Big Horn County. The park is a National Historic Landmark. Public comments were accepted from Feb. 3, 2023 to midnight on March 6, 2023, but no comments were received.  

FWP proposes to fully stabilize the foundations of the Chief’s House and Store, stabilize the House porch and replace decking, survey and repair log rot, replace all chinking and daubing, and repair windows and trim on both structures. The roof on the House may be fully replaced if funds allow under the planned contract or in the next 5 years if additional funds are necessary and successfully secured. All work will follow government historic preservation protocols.
