HISTORIC CHURCH

First Presbyterian Church

Fort Scott, KS | Bourbon County

Three members made up the total congregation of this church when it was formed in 1859. When the 1888 church was razed, many of the bricks and materials were reused to build the present 1924 church. The auditorium, which seats 1,000, held the funeral for famed photographer and native son Gordon Parks in 2006. (NRHP)
