Shawnee Methodist Mission, also known as the Shawnee Indian Mission,
was established in 1830 by the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The
mission was originally located in what is now Wyandotte County, Kansas,
but it was relocated in 1839 to its current site in Johnson County,
Kansas. The
mission served as a manual training school for children of various
Native American tribes, including the Shawnee, Delaware, and others. The students were taught academic subjects along with skills like homemaking, carpentry, and farming. The
mission played a significant role in the region’s history during the
19th century, serving as a hub for missionary work and education. It
also served as the first territorial capital of Kansas from 1854 to
1856. Today, the site is preserved as the Shawnee Indian Mission State
Historic Site.
