Osage Village State Historic Site, Native American heritage site in Vernon County, United States.
The Missouri state park contains remains of a village that supported approximately 200 lodges and housed between 2,000 and 3,000 Osage residents.
The archaeological site, first documented by explorers Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673, served as home to the Big Osage tribe from 1700 to 1775.
The Osage people at this location maintained gardens of corn, squash, and beans while engaging in hunting activities and controlling regional fur trade.
Visitors can explore outdoor exhibits and interpretive walking trails across 100 acres that showcase the layout of the former Native American settlement.
Archaeological excavations revealed rectangular houses measuring 30 to 50 feet long with eastern-facing doorways, along with period pottery, weapons, and tools.
