Historic Fort Scott, Kansas - Traditional Pleasures, Undiscovered Treasures
Between 1842 and 1853, Fort Scott was dedicated and garrisoned by the U.S. Army. As part of a line of forts running from Minnesota to Louisiana, Fort Scott was one link in a chain of fortifications to protect the Permanent Indian Frontier. Fort Scott was also located along the Frontier Military Road constructed in 1836-1845 connecting Fort Leavenworth with Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. The Army abandoned the fort in 1853 and the buildings were purchased by local settlers at auction.
Between 1854 and 1861 the citizens of Fort Scott suffered from the violence resulting between the clash between free-state abolitionists and pro-slavery proponents. The era characterized as Bleeding Kansas described the murder, arson and mayhem perpetrated by both factions during the conflict to decide whether Kansas would be admitted into the Union as a free or slave state.
Despite admission as a free state in 1861 the violence of the Bleeding Kansas period continued during the Civil War. Fort Scott was re-established as the Union Army district headquarters which housed the first African-American unit for the Union begining service in 1863.
After the Civil War, Fort Scott became one of the largest cities in eastern Kansas beating Kansas City multiple times as the largest railroad center west of the Mississippi. Fort Scott also became home to 3 brick manufacturers-many of which were used to pave the Indianapolis Speedway and in construction of the Panama Canal along with many of the streets and homes of Fort Scott. Food crops, small business and banking have also played a large role in the development of Fort Scott.
The Fort was restored in 1978 and was designated a National Historic Site. It continues as the centerpiece of our historic downtown where we have just completed a two million dollar Streetscape Project which included period street lights and park benches to our shaded sidewalks.
Interesting Fort Scott attractions places to explore include:
- 1923 Scottish Rite Masonic Temple
- 1873 Old Congregational Church
- Gordon Parks Exhibit
- Narrated Trolley Tours
Also in the area - Kansas tourism:
- Mine Creek Battlefield State Historic Site
- Bourbon State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area
Eastern Kansas vacation is nationally reknown for its Fort Scott National Historic Site and its National Cemetery. But, the community that was built around a frontier military fort well over one-hundred-sixty years ago is a thriving community rich in historic heritage, unique shopping opportunities, industry, culture, education and outdoor recreation. Recognized for its small town hospitality, Fort Scott and its residents are even the proud owners of three World Records!
