Gordon Parks Museum open during annual celebration

Fort Scott, KS – Staffers are moving most of the Gordon Parks Museum’s artifact collections into the meeting
room and lobby area of the Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center to accommodate public viewing
during the annual celebration Oct. 6–8 at Fort Scott Community College.
Continued supply–chain issues delaying the repair of the museum’s air–conditioning unit are the cause for the
change, said museum director Kirk Sharp.
“The date when repairs can be completed is still unknown at this time,” said Sharp. “We want to thank
everyone for their support and patience.”
Museum visits and tours can be scheduled for a later date by calling (620) 223–2700, ext. 5850, or by sending
an email to gordonparkscenter@fortscott.edu
