Dwight Presbyterian Mission
Dwight Presbyterian Mission, Presbyterian mission site near Marble City, Oklahoma, United States.
The Dwight Presbyterian Mission stands on Sallisaw Creek, featuring multiple buildings that served educational and religious purposes for Cherokee communities.
The mission, established in 1820 near Russellville, Arkansas, relocated to Oklahoma in 1829 following Cherokee displacement under new treaties.
The facility operated a printing press in 1837 that produced materials in Cherokee language, supporting Native American literacy and communication.
The location now functions as a Presbyterian retreat and conference center, offering spaces for gatherings and educational programs.
A devastating fire in 1918 claimed the lives of thirteen students in the dormitory, leading to memorial initiatives at the site.
