White Feather Spring, Historic spring in Argentine neighborhood, Kansas City, United States.
White Feather Spring is a natural water source in the Argentine neighborhood of Kansas City that sits within a ravine bordered by stone walls and stepped access routes. The water flows through a landscape shaped by both natural geological features and human-built structures designed for safe passage.
This spring was the final home of Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee Prophet and brother of Tecumseh, until his death in 1836. Following the 1854 Treaty, the property passed into private ownership and took its name from an early owner of the land.
Native Americans consider this spring a sacred site where visitors leave offerings to honor the spiritual significance of the location.
Access to the site requires advance permission from the property caretakers before visiting. Potential visitors should make arrangements beforehand to ensure they can explore the location safely and respectfully.
An early landowner named Susan White Feather gave the spring its name after the 1854 Treaty established the area. The place holds significance as both an indigenous historical landmark and a property tied to settler-era Kansas City.
