HISTORY OF THE BUILDING

Representation of Sutler Store at Fort ScottThe present sutler exhibit at Fort Scott is located in an officer's quarters building that dates back to the 1840s.

It is believed that this drawing depicts the original sutler store at Fort Scott: a log cabin with two rooms and 1 1/2 stories high. The building was owned by the sutler and was located off of the military post about 300 yards west of the dragoon stables. The store has been torn down but a plaque marks its location.
