Fort Scott Home for Children closes after long history
The Goodlander Home in Fort Scott, opened in 1899, housed over 1,000 children largely from difficult backgrounds. Directed by local women, it survived financial crises and a state closure threat, but has now ceased operations as welfare aid and foster care filled needs. Built in 1843, the historic white columned structure sits near Carroll Plaza beside the Bourbon County Historical Museum.
