Shawnee Methodist Indian Mission

Shawnee Methodist Indian Mission

Pick up a copy of the March 12th edition of the Johnson County Gazette in which you will find my latest article about the Shawnee Methodist Indian Mission in Fairway, Kansas. 
 
The month’s article traces the history of the Mission from its days as a Mission School for Native Americans, to a short stint as the Kansas Territorial Capital, to a Union Army Barracks and even to a failed resort in the early 1900s.
 
Thanks to everyone who supports the Gazette and my History column in that paper.
