Fort Scott National Historic Site is temporarily reducing its hours of operation to 8:30am-4:30pm Friday through Tuesday tentatively through the end of March. The park grounds will not be closing, only the park’s public buildings and Visitor Center on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Due to an extended staffing shortage the park is temporarily unable to provide adequate operational coverage and visitor services. Administrative and facility operations will continue as normal. By the end of March, the park projects returning to normal operations seven days each week.

We encourage you to take advantage of the many digital tools already available to explore Fort Scott National Historic Site, including: virtual tours, photo galleries, mobile app, Facebook, and Instagram.

Fort Scott National Historic Site’s, a unit of the National Park Service, exhibit areas and temporary visitor center are open Friday through Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The park grounds are open daily from a half hour before sunrise until a half hour after sunset.
