| Fort Osage National Historic Landmark |
|
 Fort Osage was established in 1808 by William Clark and served as both a military and civilian outpost on the American frontier. During its brief twenty year occupation, it played a pivotal role in early frontier exploration. It was designated a National Historic
Landmark in 1964 and is owned and operated by Jackson County Parks & Recreation. Overlooking the Missouri River, this historic site has been reconstructed to portray Fort Osage as it was in 1812. Authentically attired interpreters provide living-history insights into the daily life of both the military and civilian populations.
Sponsorships are available for special events beginning at $100. Categories range from
sponsoring a single exhibit, performer, or interpretive activity through underwriting of the entire event.
