Spirit of '45!


The Santa Fe Trail Center presents:

The Spirit of ‘45

The Santa Fe Trail Center, Larned, invites the public to view a temporary exhibit commemorating the generation who fought in World War II. The exhibit features artifacts and photographs related to the armed forces and the home front from 1940-1945.  Items from the museum’s collections highlighting local servicemen and women will be on display. The U.S. Congress has designated August 14 as National Spirit of ’45 Day. The American Association of State and Local History has encouraged museums across the country to participate in honoring the Spirit of ’45.
The Santa Fe Trail Center is located 2 miles west of Larned on Hwy K-156. The museum is now observing its summer hours and is open 7 days a week 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information regarding this program, the museum, or how to become a Fort Larned Historical Society member call 620-285-2054 or visit our website at www.santafetrailcenter.org.
