Wilson Home


This building used to be an officers' quarters. In the 1850s, the post sutler, Hiero Wilson, bought the house. He became a leader in the town of Fort Scott. There were some scary things that happened in town while he lived here.

One time some angry men attacked Fort Scott. They captured, Mr. Wilson. Can you help him escape? You'll have to find your way out of the maze.
