Crazy Woman Battlefield
East of I-25 between Kaycee and Buffalo


The site of numerous skirmishes between native tribes and white travelers, the battlefield is bisected by a creek of the same name. There are two varying accounts of how the area received its name. One story is that an Indian woman living alone and slowly went mad. A second version is that a white traveler’s wife went insane when she witnessed Indians scalp her husband.
