Forging a Nation: Fort Scott in the Mid Nineteenth Century
Promises made and broken! A town attacked at dawn! Thousands made homeless by war! Soldiers fighting settlers! Each of these stories is a link in the chain of events that encircled Fort Scott from 1842-1873. All of the site's structures, its parade ground, and its tallgrass prairie bear witness to this era when the country was forged from a young republic into a united transcontinental nation.

This Fort has so much history to tell. Taking in the Visitors center tells the story well and a walk of the grounds puts it all into context. We spent a half a day here but feel we could have spent longer.
