Schedule a Tour of the Battle of Westport Visitor Center

The  Battle of Westport Museum is located within the Historic Harris-Kearney  House in Westport. During the winter months, the Harris-Kearney House  is only open by appointment. This tour includes  an overview of the Battle of Westport, a tour of the museum, and an  optional trip out to Byram's Ford to get a first hand look at a  relatively undisturbed part of the battlefield. It's about a 15 minute  drive from the Harris-Kearney House to Byram's Ford.  This tour costs a flat fee of $25 for up to four people.

Schedule a Guided Battlefield Tour

The Battle of Westport took place over three days in an area that encompasses around 35 square miles. So our standard  tour only covers a small portion of the battlefield.

Our standard battlefield tour starts at the Harris-Kearney and lasts from about 3 hours.  After an overview of the Battle of Westport, we drive out to Byram's Ford to visit the least disturbed portion of the battlefield. Here we discuss the events that took place on October 22 and 23, 1864. Then we drive over to the battlefield south of Brush Creek  to discuss the events that took place on October 23, 1864.

We can customize a tour to your specifications:

  • Visit Little Blue River battlefield
  • Visit Independence battlefield
  • Visit Mockbee Farm battlefield
  • Take route followed by Confederate wagon train from Independence to New Santa Fe.
