Legends of Lee's Summit Nomination Details

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:

  • Entertainment/Arts
  • Civic/Pioneer
  • Athletics
  • Military
  • Literary/Education

Annual nominations from the community will be accepted. After submission, individuals and/or families are first considered, selected, and vetted. Once vetting is complete, the individual/family will be notified by the Museum. A formal announcement will be made to the community, and they will be publicly honored. 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. 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?
