This year’s tour theme is music. Just like today, music was an important form of entertainment for the solders, officers and their families at frontier Army posts like Fort Larned. Whether it was someone playing an instrument for others to listen to, or people singing along, it helped while away the off-duty hours for everyone. The tour vignettes will highlight different ways that people used music to entertain themselves.
