Fort Larned National Historic Site

Troops stationed at this outpost in the heart of the Plains Indian territory protected freight wagons and mail coaches on the Santa Fe Trail from 1858 to 1878. Today Fort Larned National Historic Site, Kansas, is one of the best-restored examples of a frontier military settlement. Contains rare historical photos and illustrations, plus new photos by Fred Hirschmann, J. C. Leacock, Steve Mulligan, and others.
