(1-01) Visitor Center Display. Abandoned in 1854, Fort Towson played only a minor role in the Civil War. For a time, the old post served as the headquarters for Confederate General Sam Bell Maxey and at the end of the conflict was the scene of General Stand Watie's surrender. After the war, the post was used as a place of parole for defeated Confederate troops
