Notes
  • Significance: The Dwight Mission, founded in Arkansas in 1822, moved with the Cherokee into the new Cherokee Nation in 1839, the time of the removal from the east, and from the areas in Arkansas in which some eastern Cherokees had already settled. It was the first mission in Cherokee Nation, serving the tribe as a religious and educational center until 1948, with few interruptions. During the Civil War the leaders of the mission, whose sympathies were against slavery, tried steadfastly to keep the mission open, primarily as a place of refuge for citizens who had lost their homes, but ultimately failed. Its existence today makes it the oldest mission in Oklahoma. The building's design is an example of the shingle style.
