Cool part of history. I just learned about this place not too long ago and figured I should check it out. I wish the state would get involved to help fix it up and preserve it.

The caretaker of the place is a degree-ed historian, and very knowledgeable about the history of the fort, and how it, the settlers, and the local tribes interacted. He took over an hour and a half to go over the history of the site, the operations of the fort, and the various recovered artifacts.

Remarkable history here, from paleo-Indian to late 19th century. Among other things, Fort Harker was a significant support and supply post for the US Army following the Civil War, and several original buildings remain. The museum, while small, is filled with important, revealing artifacts. Upon arriving, I was propitiously met by the fort’s lead historian and gifted storyteller, Mr. Heller, who was singularly generous with his time and knowledge.

Lesser known Forts but so worth it. We are giving them a 5 and we didnt even get out of the Guardhouse! Greg is an awesome Interpretative Guide. We are headed back with our spouses at a later date, hopefully! Well worth $10.

Great little place to visit if your into history. Theres a map there that shows what the town looked like back when it was just a fort. If my memory serves me right where the bank is now used to me where the old forts morgue used to be

The Ft. Harker museum is like stepping back in the time of the 1860s Cavalry soldier and pioneer. They display period artifacts found at or near the site. Totally family friendly staff. Youll love it!

Historian was very knowledgeable and informative. Was able to tour both levels of the structure. Learned the origins of "for whom the bell tolls" and "grave yard shift". Many artifacts on display. If you enjoy history, well worth the time.
