::VISIT FORT SCOTT

Welcome to Fort Scott, located in the Little Ozarks region of Southeast Kansas. To a growing population of more than 15,000 area residents, Fort Scott offers the best of a centralized world. Sitting majestically above the Little Ozarks and the Marmaton River, our citizens enjoy the simple pleasures of country living. However, being located conveniently within southeast Kansas, we can “reach out and touch” the playgrounds of the Midwest with Branson, Joplin, and Springfield, Missouri just minutes away to the east, and one of the Midwest’s most elegant cities, Kansas City, just minutes to the north.  

The Office of Tourism has put together a convenient resource of fingertip information designed for you, whether you're interested in relocating or visiting our area. We can accommodate your needs. If you have any questions concerning your upcoming visit, feel free to call us at 800-245-3678, or email us.
