Shawnee Trading Post

-A A +A
c. 1900; rebuilt 1918 after a fire. Off U.S. 285, 6 miles west of Bailey

This white clapboard general store is the liveliest place in a sleepy hamlet overlooking the Platte Valley and the Fitzsimmons Ranch. The overnight stage stop and DSP& P depot are gone, and only the stone foundations survive of the Shawnee Lodge, which fell to fire in 1929. The Grandview Hotel (1886) has been restored as a bed and breakfast.
