Welcome to Fort Scott, located in the beautiful Little Ozarks region of Southeast Kansas. Fort Scott is a steadly growning community of 15,000 residents, and home to the states most prestigious college. 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.
