Summary

Significance: The Shoshone School for Indian Girls was established through the cooperation of Reverend John Roberts and Chief Washakie of the Eastern Shoshone Indians. It was a facility of the Shoshone Episcopal Mission. The mission headquarters were first located in Wind River, then moved to Fort Washakie, and finally to the girl's boarding school. The grounds contain the main school building, chapel, and outbuildings, as well as two churches moved in from the previous mission sites.
