Waynesville, MO: Old Settlers Day Reenactment

The Pulaski County Museum and Historical Society hosted its 39th annual Old Settlers Day July 27-28, 2019, at Waynesville City Park in Waynesville, MO.

 

Waynesville was occupied by Union forces beginning in 1862. A fort was built near the bluff overlooking Roubidoux Spring. The site was of strategic importance to protect the “wire road” between St. Louis and Springfield, MO, and to curtail regional “bushwhacker” activities. During the occupation the Old Stagecoach Stop served as hospital.
