The town of Sibley has had a rich history which dates back to the
early 1800's making it a perfect place to start a chapter of the DAR. The
first settlers in Jackson County came up the Missouri River to Sibley
where Lewis and Clark had established Fort Osage. Lorine H. Morrow
was the organizing regent of Fort Osage Chapter DAR. The chapter's
first meeting was held at the Johnson House in Sibley in 1947. The
Elizabeth Benton Chapter was considered their "mother" chapter.
Members Mrs. Hilt, Mrs. Henthorn Mrs. Sams and Mrs. Ravenscraft helped
organize the Fort Osage Chapter. Jennie Hilt and Lela Ravenscraft
later became members. Lorine Morrow's mother, Nolia Hostetter,
and some of the Fort Osage Chapter DAR members sold post cards, slides,
and stationery at the Fort to support their scholarship program. One
member, Rhoda Woldridge, sold her children's books at the Fort, and
in more recent years Doris Reed spent many hours working there. Clara
Lee compiled the history of the one-room schools in the area which
was later published by the Fort Osage Chapter as In the Beginning.
The chapter also cooperated in establishing the Fort Osage Historical
Society and assisted in the events sponsored by them for the benefit
of the Fort. Many talented and noteworthy ladies have been members
of the Fort Osage Chapter DAR. To name a few of the earlier members
Hazel Reppert, Doris Cooper, Mary Jane Truman, Ruth Lenox, Lucille
Johnson, Grace Carmean, Birdie Davidson, Margaret and Mary Sue Chiles,
Edna Scurlock, Winona Burgess, and Dora Slaughter.
The Fort Osage Chapter was honored to participate n the Naturalization Ceremony at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, September 18, 2006. There were 75 people from 35 countries who became U.S. citizens at this special event.

The reconstructed Fort overlooks the Missouri River and is portrayed
as it was in 1812. You'll get a glimpse back in time by seeing authentically
attired interpreters using living history to provide insight into the
daily life of the Fort's military and civilian population. Built in
1808, under the direction of William Clark, the design of the Fort
reflects its dual role as military garrison and trade center. Directions
From Kansas City take 24 Highway east to Buckner, Missouri. Turn north
at Sibley Street (BB Hwy.) and travel 2-3 miles, watching carefully
for directional signs. Drive through Sibley following the signs to
Fort Osage.
