The city of '''New Strawn''' came about when [[John Redmond Reservoir]] was built in the early 1960s, causing the original town of '''Strawn''' to be claimed by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood area.<ref name=JRR-History>{{cite web |title= History of John Redmond Reservoir |publisher= U.S. Army Corps of Engineers |url= https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Locations/Tulsa-District-Lakes/Kansas/John-Redmond-Reservoir/History/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190817073629/https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Locations/Tulsa-District-Lakes/Kansas/John-Redmond-Reservoir/History/ |archive-date=August 17, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> The old city of Strawn is usually available for exploration, but will be underwater if the lake is up. Very little is left of "old" Strawn today, although the Main Street can still be traveled when dry. 
The school at the old site of Strawn was a two-room school with first through fourth grades in one room and fifth through eighth grade in the second room. The Strawn Methodist Church was just to the south. A small parking area is at the approximate site of the school and church.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/25404/Aliceville++Crotty++Agricola++Strawn++Halls+Summit++Part+of+Townships+22+and+23+S+++Range+17+E/Coffey+County+1919/Kansas/ | title=Aliceville, Crotty, Agricola, Strawn, Halls Summit, Part of Townships 22 and 23 S., Range 17 E., Atlas: Coffey County 1919, Kansas Historical Map }}</ref>
