Fort Hays State Historic Site Hays, KS 67601

"It was worth a visit even if the museum and the buildings were closed for the day. We even were able to get a humorous photo with one of the many iron figurines scattered around the site. We visited May 2023."

"Very informative and pretty neat to see how they lived back then easily a 30-60 minute stop, maybe more depending what all you view."

"Very interesting and easy layout to follow. Multiple buildings to go through. Tons of plaques with great information. Even a neat "Who was I?" Card to learn more about actual people from the fort. Very interesting history!"

"This was a great place to visit. Interesting history, and the place is very well maintained. Staff was polite and helpful. Would recommend visiting if you are passing through and have the time."

"It was interesting. We always enjoy history, but sadly it's always a similar story about how the government and the military came and violently destroyed the lives of the people who were already here, wiped out the buffalo, etc. My favorite part is always looking closely at the Native American arts - the beautiful beadwork, leatherwork, and quillwork. There's not a lot of that here, and some of it is reproduction, for the purpose of example. The site is well kept and well described."
