    This small museum is inside the Ellis Family Fine Arts Center at Fort Scott Community College. Gordon Parks' photos are stunning, and we learned about his life and his work as a filmmaker too.

    The woman at the Visitors’ Center recommended - and it did not disappoint. The docent couldn’t have been more engaging, and the displays were a great tribute to the struggles of non-majority persons....  more

  • By Michael Selman
    A wonderful tribute to one of our country's most important 20th century figures. Gordon Parks was a polymath, so gifted as a musician, filmmaker, and photographer. The museum is not large, but be sure to leave enough time to absorb and reflect upon this man's great works.

    This place was amazing. I grew up in Fort Scott and had.no clue it was there. My children were fascinated by the stuff inside. It's a cute and great little museum. Will definitely come visit again next time I am.back in town.
