Celebrating
the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry
We invite you to help bring a Fort Scott story to life.
Together with influential community stakeholders, we are crafting a project that weaves history and community into a vibrant tapestry: a mural in our downtown area honoring the legacy of the first Kansas African American infantry.
​
This mural symbolizes more than just our shared past; it's an embodiment of unity, community pride, and the enduring spirit of our city. This isn't simply a project but a journey that we're embarking on together, a journey that holds the promise of leaving an indelible mark on the cityscape and the collective consciousness of its residents and visitors alike.
Take Part
We have an extraordinary opportunity for you to contribute to this meaningful cause. Your participation goes above and beyond monetary support; it's a testament to your commitment to our community and the values we stand for.
