Fort Scott National Historic Site is beginning a year long Fire Suppression System replacement in nine buildings. The first two buildings are the Dragoon Barracks and Post Hospital/Visitor Center. While work is being completed in the Post Hospital, the Visitor Center’s information desk has been temporarily moved into the West Infantry Barracks next door. The park’s bookstore will be closed until the Post Hospital is reopened.
