Ranger giving guided tour of site

School groups who can not attend one of our formal education programs may opt to take a guided tour of the site led by a ranger or a volunteer. Guided tours generally take about an hour. While there are eleven buildings open to the public, generally plan on visiting only four or five of them on your tour.

  • Guided tours are available any time of year for by advance arrangement for large groups except during special events, spring education programs, and during periods of inclement weather.
  • Guided tours should be reserved at least three weeks in advance. For reservations, call (620) 223-0310. 
  • Groups of larger than 50 may be divided into more than one group.

Did You Know?
At Fort Scott, several of the boxes and barrels are marked Fort Scott, MO. Not actually in Missouri, the fort was located four miles west, in what was then unorganized territory. The army used Fort Scott, MO as a shipping address to assure that supplies made it to the right place.
