As the nation celebrates its independence on Independence Day, Fort Scott NHS will observe the holiday with its own version of fireworks - 19th century cannon thundering across the parade ground.

Visitors and local residents are reminded that fireworks are not permitted on the grounds of Fort Scott National Historic Site.

Visitors can discover the rich history and significance of the site through a series of programs offered by our knowledgeable rangers.

Additional information is available on our calendar at: www.nps.gov/fosc/planyourvisit/calendar.htm
