The Santa Fe Trail turns 200
Garden City Telegram
The use of the Santa Fe Trail 200 years ago became more popular after William Becknell, a pioneer farmer from Franklin, Mo., and five others made a trip to sell goods.
Becknell s story and the popularization of the trail were discussed at the final spring Finney County Historical Society and Museum History at High Noon event on Wednesday.
Linda Peters, president of the Wagon Bed Springs chapter of the Santa Fe Trail Association, gave the presentation.
Beckness wasn t the first person to go out on the Santa Fe Trail for trade, Peters said, but he did it at the right time after Mexico gained their independence from Spain and traders were welcome.
