This building houses a Conoco gas station and convenience store, a Subway sandwich franchise, an arts & crafts store called \"The Trading Post,\" and the Custer Battlefield Museum, a private museum whose exhibits focus on the battle and the period of the Indian Wars. Garryowen is owned by Chris Kortlander; it is currently for sale, but an auction in August 2012 was cancelled after no one registered to bid.
