Wornall Homestead

Battle of Westport

Built in 1858 by John Wornall on his 640-acre farm, this house was in the center of heavy fighting on October 23, 1864. After the last Confederate charge to the north toward Westport was repulsed, this house was used as a field hospital for both Union and Confederate wounded.

Marker is on 61st Terrace 0.1 miles east of Wornall Road, on the left when traveling east.
