The Fort Harker Guardhouse Museum Complex in Kanopolis, Kansas, is operated by the Ellsworth County Historical Society and features four preserved buildings from the fort that operated from 1866 to 1873. Visitors can explore the restored Guard House, along with exhibits at the adjacent Kanopolis Union Pacific Depot, which showcases the history of salt mining in the area.

The museum complex offers a unique glimpse into the region's heritage, with displays of historical items, including wagons and photographs related to the long-standing salt mining industry in Kanopolis. While only one salt mine remains in operation today, the Proud Independent Salt Company continues to produce valuable minerals for various industrial uses.
