Telling the history of the Shawnee Indian Mission Historic Site

These webpages, interpreting and sharing the history of the Shawnee Indian Mission (SIM), endeavor to tell the wide and complex variety of stories of that place and the people who lived them. They are not bound by a single group or experience or perspective and have as their goal to tell those stories fully, including the less attractive truths. A useful History must be honest to the Past in its effort to educate and inspire.

To that end we welcome comments, and suggestions of additions, changes, and deletions for the webpages as long as they can be supported from the historical record.

New stories and materials from descendants of participants in the Historic Sites’ history are particularly appreciated.

Please contact us at SIMLibrary@fairwaykansas.org

Thank you and enjoy learning the Shawnee Indian Mission Historic Site rich history.
