Fort Zumwalt

Fort Zumwalt (1812-1815) - A log cabin enlarged and stockaded in 1812 by Jacob Zumwalt. Abandoned in 1815.

Current Status

Fort Zumwalt Park became a Missouri State Park in 1937. The State found it impractical to monitor and maintain the park and sold the 45 acre site to the City of O'Fallon in August 1978 for one dollar. The central fireplace was restored during the State's operation of the site. The current restoration efforts began in 2004 and the smaller cabin appears to be almost complete.
