Experience Fort Osage’s favorite living history event! Soak in all the sights and sounds of a working 1810s Army post.

We would like to thank long-time Fort Osage Volunteer David Bennett for his contribution to underwrite the cost of new wood floors in the Fort Osage barracks, and artificer’s shop. The barracks, except for ‘B’ and ‘C’, have had dirt floors since they were reconstructed. Dave also coordinates the Annual Fall Muster at Fort Osage and The War of 1812 in the West Symposium.
