History

Established in 1991.

n 1864, the valley was the scene of one of the largest and most hard-​fought battles waged on the state’s soil — the Battle of Pilot Knob — where over 1200 soldiers lost their lives. Fort Davidson State Historic Site serves as a memorial to the many soldiers who gave their lives fighting for their idea of freedom. The Confederates under Gen. Sterling Price may have taken the fort, but Union efforts at Fort Davidson in the Battle of Pilot Knob were crucial to blunting the last Confederate offensive into Missouri. Fort Davidson State Historic Site preserves and interprets the running battle through the Arcadia Valley.
