Things To Do
Fort Scott National Historic Site
This fort is named after "Old Fuss and Feathers" General Winfield Scott. This is the jewel of the town, the creme da la creme, cream of the crop, the pick of the litter, if this doesn't tickle your fancy you are out of luck! Get in touch with the historical curiosity deep, deep inside of you. It's usually open to visitors and very convenient, located downtown.
Fort Scott Livestock Market
For the city slickers looking for the true down-home experience, pull on those boots, tack on those spurs and check out the livestock sale barn! For those purchasing, cows can be transported; please reach out to Lee's brother-in-law for additional information. Open Friday and Saturday starting at 10am. Vegetarians and PETA activists beware.
Gunn Park
This 155-acre park has one of the best 9-hole disc golf courses in the area. There are bound to be some hardcore disc golf lovers among you, but for the rest of you, it's just a lovely park.
Gordon Parks Museum
If you're feeling the need for some culture, check out the Gordon Parks Center, a museum dedicated to the works of the photographer Gordon Parks. Yes, the same Gordon Parks who pioneered "blaxploitation" cinema by pioneering classics like 1971's "Shaft" and who was born right here in Fort Scott!
Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes
This museum is dedicated to the unsung heroes and their untold stories and is worth checking out! It will make you weep, smile and leave you feeling like you need to do something with your life.
Fort Scott Trolley Tours
Dolly the Trolley! Take a ride on the town's psychedelic bus, where you can be drenched in the towns history in only 50 minutes.
Fort Scott National Cemetery
That's right, the 1st National Cemetery! Not the 3rd, not the 2nd, but the first! It's our own miniture Arlington!
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Okay, this one is a stretch but, for those who want to pair this trip with a slightly more popular destination spot, Crystal Bridges is the place. It is a two-hour drive and a spectacular art museum.
Woodland Hills Golf Course
Hit the links at the town's 18-hole golf course!
