Do you know an individual or family that has had a significant impact in making Lee's Summit what it is today and deserves induction into the Legends of Lee's Summit?

Consider nominating your 2025 Legend of Lee’s Summit now. Deadline for 2025 nominations is October 31, 2024.

What is a Legend of Lee's Summit?

Legends of Lee’s Summit was created in 2022 by the Lee’s Summit History Museum’s Board of Directors to celebrate and recognize a person or family who has impacted (or is impacting) the Community of Lee’s Summit’s past, present, or future. Each year, a maximum of four individuals/families may be honored.

Honoree Categories include the following areas:

  • Humanitarian
  • Entertainment/Arts
  • Civic/Pioneer
  • Athletics
  • Military
  • Literary/Education
  • Business
Annual nominations from the community will be accepted. After submission, individuals and/or families are considered, selected, and vetted.

Once the vetting is complete, the individual/family will be notified by the Museum. A formal announcement will be made to the community, and a public celebration will be scheduled.

As a Legend of Lee’s Summit, an individual or family’s impact on the Lee’s Summit community will be honored and celebrated in a unique and permanent way.
