Mound City - St Philippine Duchesne Shrine and Park

St Philippine was a French nun of the Sacred Heart congregation, already in her early 70's and in poor health when she came to Kansas, but her love of God and the American Indian instilled in her the desire to serve. The St Philippine Duchesne Shrine and Park has a memorial recording the "Trail of Death", a massive altar and cross have been erected on the site of the original church as well as nature trails on the grounds.
