ZIP by ZIP: Downtown Shawnee, Kansas

Tammy Ljungblad

Shawnee was the first community founded in Johnson County. Incorporated in 1856 as Gum Springs, it was the first county seat.

Explore the downtown area, and also Shawnee’s Pioneer Crossing Park, which features two sculptures created by artist Charles Goslin, and serves as a gateway to the city and the nearby downtown area.

The Star is exploring Kansas City in a drone video series called “ZIP by ZIP.”

This weekly series will show you one interesting place from an aerial perspective. Our goal is to show you a landmark, attraction, or historical site from a new perspective. With almost 8,500 square miles in the Kansas City metro that spans a state line and two rivers, we have a lot of ground to cover with our drones.

This week we explore Shawnee, in the 66203 ZIP code area.

Shawnee’s Pioneer Crossing Park, which features two sculptures created by artist Charles Goslin., serves as a gateway to the city and the nearby Downtown area.
