The Marais des Cygnes Massacre Site, also known as Marais des Cygnes Massacre Memorial Park, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
It is the site of the 1858 Marais des Cygnes massacre.[3]
The site includes a fort that was present then, and a house built by Charles C. Hadsall after the incident. It was given to the state of Kansas. Kansas turned it over to the Kansas Historical Society to operate.[4]
