Eating on the Grounds

School groups may bring their own refreshments and eat at the historic site either before or after their visit.

Groups participating in the "Sweep Through History" program may request the use of the Grand Hall, which can seat up to 100 students. Teachers attending this program should call in advance to reserve this space for their group. Due to logistics, this is the only program during which the Grand Hall will be available for use.

Groups eating in the Grand Hall are responsible for cleaning it afterward. This includes throwing away all the trash and sweeping the floor. A broom, dustpan, trash cans, and recycling bins are be provided.

A picnic area is also available for small groups. This is on a first come first serve basis. There are four picnic tables in this area.

There are also city parks in the area to eat such as Skubitz Plaza adjacent to the park. The largest of these being Gunn Park. Visit this link for more information http://www.fortscott.com/visitors/outdoor_activities.asp
