  Dwight Mission
Dwight Mission is located on 176 acres approximately eleven miles northeast of Vian and approximately ten miles northwest of Sallisaw, Oklahoma.
One of the oldest institutions in the Synod of the Sun, Dwight Mission was originally founded in 1820 and was one of the forty mission schools for Indians that the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. had in what is now Oklahoma.
Dwight was the last of these schools to be closed (1948) as adequate educational opportunities were provided by the state and the national government.
