About

Shannon Historical Associates, is a non-profit organization founded in May 2007 by Dustin Ray Shannon. Our dedicated team is committed to investigating a wide range of historical subjects, including deserted burial grounds, tombstones, vanished communities, abandoned amusement parks, and property chronicles. Originally established in 2007, Shannon Historical Associates has since expanded its reach, with founder Dustin Ray Shannon relocating to Wichita in 2012 to volunteer at the Old Cowtown Museum. In October 2018, Shannon moved to Huntsville, Alabama, where he continues to collaborate with other historical and genealogical organizations. Join us as we uncover the mysteries of the past and preserve the history of communities and landmarks across the country.​
