Fort Scott's story spans one of the most critical eras of our nation's history. While its buildings are restored to their 1840s appearance, its stories are of Indian Removal, Westward Expansion, Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War, and the Railroad years. Explore more about Fort Scott's history and watch a 23 minute movie online by visiting our History and Culture corner. In addition to twenty historic structures, Fort Scott NHS also protects a parade ground and five acres of restored tallgrass prairie. Learn more about the prairie and the natural environment surrounding Fort Scott in the Nature section of our website. Our Education webpages provide information about Fort Scott's curriculum based education programs for both K-4th grade and 5th-8th grade students. These pages also include descriptions about the site's distance learning programs and other onsite programs available to school groups. Our Kids and Youth webpage has links to our Junior Ranger program, including online copies of the booklet and information about other kids programs, such as the site's popular Trailblazer program.
