Candlelight Tour

Our annual Candlelight Tour on the 2nd Saturday in October is one of our most popular events. Held after dark, with only lanterns and candles to light the buildings, it's a chance to see the fort as it would have been in the 1800s before electricity. Every year scenes are played out in each of the historic buildings based on events from the fort's past.

Although there is no fee for the event, tours are limited to 20 people each and you must make reservations. We start taking reservations on the Monday two weeks prior to the event.

The date for the 2024 Candlelight Tour is Saturday, October 12.

We'll start taking reservations on Monday, September 30 at 8:30 am. You must make reservations by phone at 620-285-6911, or in person at the Fort Larned Visitor Center. We're not able to take reservations by email. We also ask that you not leave a voicemail message for reservations. The person taking reservations is not able to check voicemail during the reservation process.
