“Communication on the Santa Fe Trail” will be the theme for the Rendezvous 2010 history seminar to be held in Larned, KS on September 16 – 19. The seminar is sponsored by the Santa Fe Trail Center, Fort Larned National Historic Site and the Santa Fe Trail Association.

Primary funding is provided by the Kansas Humanities Council. This year’s theme will examine how individuals of various cultures on the Santa Fe Trail communicated with each other. Featured during the seminar will be talks on the evolution of the U.S. mail service between Missouri and Santa Fe.

Presentations will show how the establishment of communication across the trail helped lead to statehood for Kansas and opened communication throughout the southwest. Fees to attend the Rendezvous seminar will be $25.00 for Full Registration and $15.00 for Single Day. Costs for meals and bus tour are additional.
