One of the best preserved frontier forts of the American west. Neat exhibits and grounds. Well worth the hour drive from the interstate.

Off-the-beaten path, but well worth the detour. The National Park staff at Larned, including a young man in military uniform, are delightful and informative. The location on the Santa Fe Trail was essential to commerce and travel. The barracks and military-stores are very interesting and will interest younger folks, too. The Park visitor center and gift shop was closed because of the pandemic, but they do offer take-away stamps for your passport collection! (They hope to open their center soon.)

Dropped in by accident. This is a national gem. Enormously friendly guides and great information. Also, once a year they hold a candlelight ceremony. Must book ahead.

The best-preserved frontier military post I've seen. Every building is set up as if the cavalry just rode out for a patrol and will be back any moment. Budget a couple of hours at least, and make sure you hit all the buildings (and the cemetery). It's a huge eye-opener to the material conditions American frontier soldiers lived with. 10/10 would visit again.

Fort Larned is one of the best historic forts I've visited. The blacksmith shop is entirely original and Pete was great showing us techniques used to repair items which would have been ordered by the quartermaster. Custer passed through for a few days and the presentation of the barracks was fantastic. Definitely worth a stop to see one of the great protection sites on the Sante Fe Trail.
