Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Site, National Historic Landmark in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, United States
The Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Site stands at the meeting point of Elm Creek and Medicine Lodge River in south-central Kansas.
The United States government and five Native American tribes signed three separate peace agreements at this location during October 1867.
The site features a natural amphitheater in Memorial Peace Park where participants perform treaty reenactments during the annual Peace Treaty Festival.
Visitors can observe the treaty grounds from Memorial Peace Park, which includes 300 acres of green spaces and walking paths.
The Kiowa chief identified the exact treaty location in 1922 as an elm tree grove on the south bank of Elm Creek.
