To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Santa Fe Trail, the Dodge City / Fort Dodge / Cimarron Chapter of the Santa Fe Trail Association is illuminating the locations along the trail in Ford and Gray Counties.

This week we highlight the storyboard for Thomas Fitzpatrick, the Indian agent who helped carry out the Fort Atkinson Treaty in 1853. The storyboard is at the Chilton Monument on Manor Drive. Visit www.santafetrail.org and www.santafetrail200.org for information on the trail.

You can also find information about the Santa Fe Trail on Facebook. For local information, contact Bill Bunyan in Dodge City at 620-227-8203 and Deb Calhoun in Cimarron at 620-339-9616.
