Leavenworth County Churches
Michigan Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, Leavenworth
"History of Leavenworth County," 1921
The Michigan Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in
February, 1888, and at the same time incorporated under the laws of
Kansas. William Fairchild donated the lots on which the church building is located at the northwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Shoemaker Avenue. Mr. Fairchild was a prominent member of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church of Leavenworth. William Dill, also a member of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church, secured the charter. So this church
may be considered a child of the First Methodist Episcopal Church.
