Talk:Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site

Infobox
Lat/Long The lat/long that I added the the infobox (38.54083°N, -102.52861°W) was based on the location in the National Register listing: "Near jct. of Cty Rd. 54 and Cty Rd. W". I am sure it is off by at least a few seconds (maybe even a minute) in any direction, I just don't know which. If anyone can pin-point it better, please update the location in the infobox.

Visitation As a new site, I left the visitation blank for now.

Area The area is approximate, based on the wording in the NPS announcement that it is "situated on over 12,000 acres".

the name of this article
should (opinion) not have been changed without discussion here. I am NOT in favor of the change because the US government uses the Capito "M". So we should do the same. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:26, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
