Fort Osage Receives Garter Donation

Fort Osage Receives Garter Donation

The Society of Friends of Fort Osage purchased these garters in the Grand Festival of Chez les Canses auction and donated them to the fort.

The garters were made by Clarence Warfield and are copied from a pair in the Peabody Museum at Harvard. William Clark had received a pair as a gift from the Osage.
John Peterson, the Museum Curator at Fort Osage National Historic Landmark, said that they will be added to the Osage display in the Education Center later this fall.
