Review:
The Fort Scott National Historic Site is a former military fort and historical area which is operated by the National Park Service. The fort was instrumental in the expansion and settlement of the United States by European settlers in the 19th century.
The fort was also a US Army base on the edge of the settlement and was used as a supply base both as the West was being settled and throughout the American Civil War. The site includes some 20 structures, parade grounds, and five acres of tallgrass prairie. Visitors can tour the grounds and buildings and learn about the history of the area and the role the fort played in the history of the nation.
