When people think of the National Park Service, they usually think of big, beautiful nature spaces. And while the Park Service does preserve these spaces, it also preserves American history. For example, Washita Battlefield National Historic Site protects and interprets the site of the Southern Cheyenne village of Chief Black Kettle where the Battle of Washita occurred. The site is located about 150 miles west of Oklahoma City, near Cheyenne, Oklahoma. Just before dawn on November 27, 1868, the village was attacked by the 7th U.S. Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Custer. The site is a small portion of a large area that was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The artists of Anderson Design Group help carry on the Park Service tradition of preservation and conservation by interpreting the Historic Site in a hand-rendered illustration, pictured here. This vintage-looking design will look great as a poster, canvas, mini canvas, metal sign, postcard, or notecard. To learn more about the park, visit the National Park Foundation.
