St. John's school for Osage Indian boys opened in October 1888, 8 miles North of Grey Horse along Hominy Creek, by St. Katharine Drexel and the bureau of catholic indian missions. The original log compound replaced by four-story stone building in 1893. Operated by Franciscan sisters (1888-1907) and Christian brothers (1907-1913). It was closed in 1913 by the Osage Tribal Council.
A town at the center of the Osage Murders - it has been a ghost town since being abandoned in 1963.
