My husband and I got married May 2014 and had our reception at this venue. For starters let me just…read moresay that the hall itself is very nice and clean also doesn't need many decorations because of how modern it is. On the other hand. These people put on a front that they are going to help you through everything and be so helpful and they are just there to make sure that everything goes smooth for us. Which felt like a lie to us after everything was over. There were so many red flags that we had and if we hadn't paid so much money for them, we would have walked away. They never tried to set up any of the meetings for the food tasting or decorations, I had to reach out to them. They were very pushy about their DJ and were rude to ours when we didn't choose theirs. There were probably ten of our guests that have told me stories about how they were rude to them! They told us that we would do the final billing the night of and if we had more people we would pay and if we had less they would refund us. But then Cindy was extremely rude to my mother who paid for the whole thing. and told her she doesn't know who told her that but she's not getting any of her money back. for one reason or another. But they went too far by calling me (the bride) the night before my wedding while I am sitting at dinner with my family, asking for more money. I could go on and on about things that bothered me but it doesn't change anything. I don't normally put reviews about things up. But these people were so extremely unprofessional with our reception. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

This is a living history museum that is so realistic, it is impressive. The staff has gone to…read moreincredible lengths to recreate the town in the 1920's era to astounding accuracy. But..... you have to experience it with a docent to get the full effect. If you poke around by yourself, it may seem unimpressive. There is a farmstead onsite, with a chicken coop. The staff searched the agricultural schedule in the 1920's census to determine what type of chicken was raised in this area during that time. Then they procured that breed! Historic, heirloom chickens! I would never have learned this just by moseying around by myself. So let the docents treat you to the incredible nuances at the museum. Before I left, I bought eggs, from the chickens with the impressive lineage. Also, follow their Facebook page for great community events. This is a happening place!

The museum part was absolutely amazing! My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. The most…read moreunique thing I think this place has over lots of other historic places is the fact you actually get to touch and mess around with the antique items, which is basically unheard of at most historical places. The fact it is so hands on makes it such an incredible educational experience. The prices are very cheap for a 45m tour and deep explanation of the various buildings and items in those buildings. I wish more places were set up like this were kids can actually see, reenact, and learn about historic life. All the staff was very friendly and we really enjoyed our tour guide! This place is an absolute must if you love history and you want an amazing educational experience for your kids!

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found the perfect venue. The chapel's absolutely charming, and perfect for photos. The coordinator at Little Shawnee Chapel was an absolute gem. From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, they were incredibly helpful and attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. It was amazing as it allowed my wife to relax and enjoy every moment with her family who flew in. The chapel itself is timeless. It's super well lit, yet cozy. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, creating an intimate and romantic ambiance that our guests loved. PLUS, the neighboring space allowed extra room for our guests to grab refreshments before and after the ceremony, which other smaller venues in town definitely didn't offer. We can't thank everyone enough for making our wedding day truly special. If you're looking for a venue with charm, character, and exceptional service, look no further than Little Shawnee Chapel. Highly recommended!!!

I'll be honest, I never got BBQ. It never really appealed to me. That has changed because of the…read more180 room. The staff here was very helpful, they were there when you needed them, but not so much that they were in your face all the time. Perfect balance. I had some burnt ends, and they were tasty. I expected to load up on those for the evening, but I decided to try the famous Kansas City rubs I had heard so much about. BAM! I get it now! These ribs put every BBQ rib I have had before now to shame. My tastebuds now understand what ribs should taste like. It was a magical cross between perfection and awesome. I ate until I was ready to split a seam. Absolutely incredible. If you can get yourself here, do it... the food is amazing!

Getting married! No! Not me... been there/done that!…read more I have some friends that are stepping up to have their nuptials. And this is the place. I cannot stress enough how open this place is. And by open... yes it used to be a theater that they have reset into a venue! They have remodeled the projection booth to be the mens and brides rooms... yes I said mens and brides... you are only a groom while you are standing up front... the rest of the time you are one of the guys. The wedding hasn't taken place yet (i'll update after that) but I did meet the owner. She was extremely helpful and willing to make small alterations to the existing packages to ensure that all needs are met. If you are having an event with less than 200 people go check this place out! It is new and has great access. There is no smoking deck/lounge so I would say that is the only draw back however peeps should be able to go a few hours without.
