Hi, my name is Jack. Welcome to Fort Scott. My dad was a soldier here and he helped build the Fort. He said he cut down the first tree used in the first building constructed here.

In 1855, after my dad left the army, he came back to Fort Scott to live in and he brought us with him. By then the soldiers were gone and the fort was a town. We thought it would be a quiet place to live, but there were a lot of things that happened at that time. Some were exciting, some were scary. Come on an adventure with me and I’ll share some stories with you about Fort Scott.

This booklet is designed for ages 10 and above. While there are 16 pages of activities, all we ask is that you do one activity per page.
