Description

First established in 1842, Fort Scott was built along the Military Road in eastern Kansas along what was then considered the Permanent Indian Frontier. During the Civil War, Fort Scott served as a Quartermaster Supply Depot. There was no combat at the Fort, but Confederate troops passed within 12 miles of Fort Scott in both 1861 and 1864.

The porch in the foreground is part of the Officers Quarters, which has been reported as haunted. There have been sighting of a woman's figure in the Officers Quarters and other types of sightings and sound around the Fort.
