| Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site :- Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site is authorized, but will not be established until the NPS acquires enough land to provide for the preservation,commemoration, and interpretation of the Sand Creek Massacre. While the NPS has acquired 920 acres within the authorized boundary, the remainder of the land is under private and state ownership. Until enough land has been acquired to establish the National Historic Site, it will not be open to the public. On November 29, 1864, Colonel John M. Chivington led approximately 700 U.S. volunteer soldiers to a village of about 500 Cheyenne and Arapaho people camped along the banks of Big Sandy Creek in southeastern Colorado. Although the Cheyenne and Arapaho people believed they were under the protection of the U.S. Army, Chivington's troops attacked and killed about 150 people, mainly women, children, and the elderly. Ultimately, the massacre was condemmed following three federal investigations. FACTS Acreage Gross Area Acres for FY 2004 - Not Yet Reported Visitation Budget |
