Fort Larned National Historic Site, located just west of Larned, Kansas, United States, commemorates Fort Larned, which was established in 1859 as a base of military operations against hostile Indians of the Central Plains, to protect traffic along the Santa Fe Trail and as an agency for the administration of the Central Plains Indians by the Bureau of Indian Affairs under the terms of the Fort Wise Treaty of 1861. With nine restored buildings, it survives as one of the best examples of Indian Wars period forts. Most of the buildings, including the barracks, commissary, and officers quarters, are furnished to their original appearance.
