Fort Scott National Historic Site protects 20 historic structures, a parade ground, and five acres (20,000 m²) of restored tallgrass prairie near Fort Scott, Kansas. The site bears witness to this era when the United States was forged from a young divided republic into a united and powerful transcontinental nation.
The National Park Service preserves, protects, and interprets the nationally significant historic resources related to the opening of the West, the Permanent Indian Frontier, the Mexican-American War, Bleeding Kansas, the American Civil War and the expansion of railroads.
