Fort Carondelet was a fort located along the Osage River in Vernon County, Missouri, constructed in 1795 as an early fur trading post in Spanish Louisiana by the Chouteau family.[1] The fort also was used by the Spanish colonial government to maintain good relations with the Osage Nation. Sold by the Chouteau family in 1802, the fort was abandoned the same year by its new owners.[2] By the time of an 1806 visit by Zebulon Pike on his expedition through southern Louisiana, the buildings were in disrepair.[3] Although archaeological remains of the fort and its buildings were extant in 1874,[4] a congregation known as the Church of Israel (affiliated with the Christian Identity movement) has occupied the site since the 1940s.[5]
