Battle of Carthage State Historic Site
1111 E Chestnut St. Carthage, MO
DIRECTIONS
The Battle of Carthage was the earliest full-scale battle of the Civil War, preceding Bull Run by eleven days.

Battle of Carthage State Historic Site contains a quiet meadow and the spring that made the area an encampment for both the Union and Confederate troops during the battle. The area is little changed in its appearance since the battle was fought on July 5, 1861. A few minutes off of Interstate 44, the site interprets the battle that set the stage for a decisive showdown a month later at Wilson’s Creek.
Battle of Carthage State Historic Site preserves only a small area associated with the battle, as skirmishes were spread over 10 miles. The historic site encompasses the Carter Spring area, which remains with little change from its 1861 condition and appearance. An interpretive kiosk explains the events of that hot summer day in July 1861. Group tours are given upon request through Nathan Boone Homestead State Historic Site.

Though this site is outside of the borders of Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area, its stories connect with heritage area themes and stories.
WEBSITE
Because Kansas saw the first armed conflict over slavery, and because John Brown identified the Battle of Black Jack as the first such battle in Kansas, many consider it to be the first battle of the American Civil War. The battlefield is now a National Historic Landmark.
In addition to the site of the Battle of Black Jack, the Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park includes the historic Robert Hall Pearson House and Farmstead. Pearson fought alongside of John Brown toward the end of the battle, eventually purchasing the land and building his house overlooking the Battlefield in 1890. His descendants lived in the house until the property was purchased by the Trust in 2003.
The Park also contains the Black Jack Nature Trail and prairie restoration area, and is adjacent to the Ivan Boyd Prairie Preserve.

Self-Guided Tour brochures available in front of the Robert Hall Pearson Farmhouse. Pearson Farmhouse is open seasonally or by appointment.

Bushwhacker Museum
212 W Walnut St #2341, Nevada, MO
DIRECTIONS
The Bushwhacker Museum opened in 1965 in the former Vernon County Jail and Sheriff’s home on North Main Street, a building once described as a “dungeon of medieval malevolence”. The jail had such a bad reputation prior to its closing in 1960, that some prisoners supposedly preferred to spend time at the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City. The name of the museum hearkens back to the Civil War days when the town of Nevada City was nick-named the “Bushwhacker Capital”. The museum was named after the much feared and often colorful pro-Southern guerrilla fighters known as “Bushwhackers”.
In 1997, the Bushwhacker Museum moved to the renovated Moss Building where it quickly grew to include exhibits on Osage Indians, Cottey College, railroads, State Mental Hospital #3, county schools, agriculture, and local medicine.

As a comprehensive regional history museum and genealogical research center, the Bushwhacker Museum serves the local community as a gathering place and a prominent attraction for tourists eager to learn more about the history of the Civil War in Missouri.

Fort Scott National Historic Site
199 Old Fort Blvd. Fort Scott, KS
DIRECTIONS
Explore this restored frontier fort and its role in westward expansion, Bleeding Kansas and the Civil War.
Promises made and broken! A town attacked at dawn! Thousands made homeless by war! Soldiers fighting settlers! Each of these stories is a link in the chain of events that encircled Fort Scott from 1842-1873. All of the site's structures, its parade ground, and its tallgrass prairie bear witness to this era when the country was forged from a young republic into a united transcontinental nation.
The story of Fort Scott is the story of America growing up. When the fort was established in 1842, the nation was still young and confined largely to the area east of the Mississippi River. Yet within a few years, Fort Scott's soldiers became involved in events that would lead to tremendous spurts of growth and expansion. As the nation developed, tensions over slavery led to the conflict and turmoil of "Bleeding Kansas" and the Civil War. Fort Scott takes you through these years of crisis and beyond to the time when the United States emerged as a united, transcontinental nation.

Lee's Summit Historical Society
220 SW Main St. Lee's Summit, MO
DIRECTIONS
The Historical Society of Lee's Summit maintains a museum in the 1939 Post Office in downtown Lee's Summit on West Main Street.

The area now known as Lee's Summit began as a lush prairie inhabited by the Osage Indians. Tall grasses covered the area, and the only trees were located along the many streams that existed at the time.

In 1808, a treaty between the Osage Indians and the U.S. government was signed, and the Indians were eventually moved from their land to reservations.
The word spread quickly about the beauty of this area. Early settlers arrived between the years of 1830 and 1867.

The period that was perhaps the darkest in the history of Lee's Summit and the surrounding towns was the Border War which started in the mid 1850s. The Border War eventually escalated into the Civil War 1861. Most of the citizens of Big Cedar (Lee's Summit), Lone Jack, Raytown, Pleasant Hill, to name a few, were Southern Sympathizers. There were many bloody skirmishes during this time. The notorious William Quantrill and his band of guerrilla's, which included the three Younger brothers, rode the country side and reaped havoc on the Union forces.
In 1863 Quantrill burned Lawrence, Kansas, and killed many of its residents. In retaliation for this slaughter, Union General Thomas Ewing issued the infamous Orders No. Eleven. This order stated that all the residents of Jackson, Bates and other bordering counties must leave their homes and possessions within ten days or suffer the consequences. Families were forced to leave everything behind, including livestock, and above all, their homesteads. The settlers fled to friends' homes in unaffected areas; and some, who had the means, went back to their original family homes in the South.
Union troops burned and slaughtered their way through the counties listed in Orders No. 11. Many towns were totally destroyed, lives were lost, and the face of the area was changed forever. The scars of Orders No. 11 remain with us today.

The museum contains an exhibit on the Border War including Lee's Summit's notorious resident Cole Younger, maps, photographs, and artifacts of early Lee's Summit. Displays include a re-creation of the Vogue Theater, a WPA kitchen, information on local musical families the Brownings and Methenys. Much more can be found at the museum including a gift shop and research room.
