Fort Larned National Historic Site, Kansas Cultural Landscape Report.

摘要

Fort Larned National Historic Site (NHS) is located six miles west of Larned, Kansas, adjacent to Kansas Route 156, the principal access route to the NHS. The NHS includes two discontiguous units, a historic nineteenth century military fort on the anis of the Pawnee River, and a 44-acre site six miles south of the fort that contains preserved ruts from a portion of the Santa Fe Trail, and important nineteenth-century transportation corridor. Fort Larned is significant for its role in protecting travel along the Santa Fe Trail, which extended from Franklin, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
