Statement for Supporting Diversity 

“The Spring Hill Chamber of Commerce affirms the unique strengths and value of each individual person, regardless of physical appearance, race, or ethnicity. We aim to treat all persons with fairness and dignity. Spring Hill has a long history of embracing differences, including being home to the presumed first woman doctor in Kansas, Dr. Celia Dayton; and also home to an early African American business owner, school board member, and former slave, Jerimiah McCanse. Both of these people are represented on our historical mural located on Main Street. Furthermore, a city park is named for Dr. Dayton, and a building on Historic Main Street bears the McCanse name. It is our intention to always keep an attitude of acceptance and fairness alive in our community.”
