The Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Site was the location in present-day Kansas of the signing of the Medicine Lodge Treaty in October 1867 by the United States government with major Western Native American tribes of the region. There were a total of three treaties, collectively grouped under one name.[3]

The area includes the treaty signing site, near the confluence of Medicine Lodge Creek and Elm Creek. It also includes the camp area on the north and south sides of Medicine Lodge Creek, where most of the Native Americans camped.[3]

The site was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1969 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][2]
