Exploring Fort Osage Sibley MO - October 2018
YouTube Reel Diel Outdoors: Fort Osage in Sibley Missouri 2018. We are touring the fort during their Annual Fall Muster. This reenacts the events of 1812 as the war continues and showed how they prepared for encountering with British forces if needed. We also talk to the reenactors to learn the history of Fort Osage and Fort Atkinson (Nebraska). We wrap up talking about the Living History Network (for history buffs) which informs people about reenactments from the French and Indian War (1754-1763), The War of 1812, up to modern military.
We also try to use our America the Beauttiful National Parks pass, but find that there is still a county parks fee of $8.

From the historic markers..
“ FORT OSAGE
Four miles north are restored buildings of Fort Osage, westernmost frontier outpost of the U.S. government until 1819. One of 28 fortified Indian trading posts or “factories” operated on our Indian frontiers, 1795-1822, to promote and protect national expansion. In 1808 men of the U.S. Infantry and of the Territorial Militia, directed by William Clark, began fort construction. The location was a strategic spot on the Missouri named Fort Point by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The fort was sometimes called Fort Clark.
The Osage Purchase Line was set here, 1808. Great and Little Osages, obeying a summons to settle near the post, ceded their land east of a line from the fort south to the Arkansas and claims to land north of the Missouri. In return they received annuities, trading privileges, and other considerations.
Defended by blockhouses and a stockade, the post with George C. Sibley as a trader or “factor” played an important part in opening the Louisiana Purchase to settlement and to trade. The fort was a port of entry to the West for fur expeditions and a last outpost for first successful expeditions to Santa Fe. Federal survey of the famed Santa Fe Trail started from Fort Osage, 1825. George C. Sibley was one of survey commissioners.
Among famous guests at this frontier fort were the Lewis and Clark guide, Sacagawea; Mandan Chief Shahaka; fur traders Chouteau, Lisa, Henry, Menard, Hunt, Crooks, Ashley; naturalists Bradbury and Nuttall; and writer Brackenridge. Daniel Boone At 82 rested at this fort on his last long hunting trip.
Closed during the War of 1812, the fort was regarrisoned in 1815. In 1819 the Army’s Yellowstone Expedition, with Long exploring party on steamer Western Engineer, moved the garrison to a post at Old Council Bluffs. The fort was shut down by the government, 1822, and abandoned, 1827. Jackson County settlers used fort timbers in building homes.
In 1836 Archibald Gamble bought the site and laid out a town he named Sibley in honor of the factor. In 1941 Jackson County Court began the projected restoration of the fort as a monument to westward expansion. The project originated with and is sponsored by the Native Sons of Kansas City.
Erected by State Historical Society of Missouri and State Highway Commission, 1953.”

Fort Osage - 1808 Military Installation and Indian Trading Post
Another adventure into the past. Hop in the Magnummobile and journey with us into the past to the historic Fort Osage in Sibley, Missouri.
This historic landmark was built in 1808. Construction was directed by William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame). This military installation and trading post for the Osage Indian tribe, has been under restoration for several years. It was the first military outpost in the newly purchased area comprising the Louisiana Purchase.
Sitting high on the bluffs above the Missouri River, this is a beautiful site. I remarked that it would make a good area for some cinematic drone footage. However, I learned that the Parks Department does not allow drones to fly in that area. It's possible to get a photography permit ($50 per hour) but I'm still waiting to hear back from the agent to see if that includes drones. Stay tuned.

Kansas City to Bugtussle
This is a drive from downtown Kansas City, MO to Bugtussle, MO. Bugtussle, you say? Yes - the Bugtussle from The Beverly Hillbillies! Ya see, Paul Henning, the creator of the show, was from Independence, MO. He described Bugtussle as being between Buckner and Sibley. So, I drove out there on my way home from work, then made my way back to my house. This is that drive.
