The Kaw Mission was built in 1850 as a school for Kaw Indian children. It became a school for white children when the Indians refused to send their children to the school. It was the first all-white school in Kansas. Today it is one of the oldest buildings still standing in this part of Kansas and is operated by the Kansas State Historical Society as a museum.
