Leavenworth - Fort Leavenworth

Fort Leavenworth is said to be the oldest active Army post west of the Mississippi River. During the early years, soldiers from Fort Leavenworth protected wagon trains hauling supplies over the Santa Fe, Oregon and other trails to most forts, posts and military camps of the West. Highlights include Santa Fe and Oregon Trail markers, Post Chapel and the 15-acre Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery.
