You can feel the history here
Went for a tea party. Staff was very friendly; taught the girls about living in a small cabin, traveling on the trail, making crafts, and even let the girls dress up in pioneer clothes.
Did anyone learn some history here per the Union vs Confederacy comments?
The Mission was a Shawnee Methodist mission run by Rev Johnson with his alliance with Chief Parks. Parks was a slave owner and Johnson was a raging
pro slavery slave owning preacher.
The Shawnee Methodists were a specific band of progressives adopting white ways and in general taking advantage of their more traditional tribal brothers, for example the Black Bob band.
No worries, the Shawnee Methodists will in turn get screwed by Johnson who taxes all Shawnee tribal allotments into bankruptcy.
See Black Bob and Blue Jacket streets, the Chief Blue Jacket fountain and the Shawnee burial ground in Shawnee.
See they have these things called books.

This annual event has good local food. I love the Indian fry bread taco. There is local arts and crafts and musical performers and the Missouri Trappers encampments.
My experience here may not be typical of an average visit.
There is a main building which houses a museum and gives tours of the historic Indian mission.
In my visit, I was on staff with our scouting District's annual Cub Scout Day Camp, which lasted a week at the Indian mission.
We used the larger part of their property mostly on the North side of the street from the museum Part.
There are actually many structures on property that are part of the mission, and it is a beautiful property that I would call a park that is located adjacent to Bishop Miege High School and St Agnes Catholic Church.
The area is well shaded yet visible and great for short hikes and walking the dog (following the signs provided) in beautiful Fairway, Kansas.
This is one of the most historical locations in Johnson County Kansas which helps to explain the early development of territorial Kansas, the naming of the county, and the policies that white settlers had with Native Americans.
The museum does a good job of describing life both as a settler and Native American during the different ages of the early 1800s to present day.
