Between 1822 and 1880, the Santa Fe Trail provided one of the most important overland transportation routes in America. The great influx of people along the Santa Fe Trail disrupted the Native Americans' way of life and prompted them to retaliate. Fort Larned was established as a temporary fort in 1860 to protect travelers, trail commerce, and the mail because of the rising tensions between American Indians and those using the trail. Fort Larned National Historic Site preserves the buildings, stories, and historical themes associated with Fort Larned. This report concerns the work needed to restore the Quartermaster's Storehouse (HB-6), constructed in 1866-1868, at Fort Larned. The building will be restored on the exterior and interior to its authentic appearance as it existed during the significant historic period 1868-1878. The interior will be furnished in a manner to tell the supply, storage and provisioning story of a frontier military post.
