Frontier Army Museum
Reynolds Avenue, Fort Leavenworth

This unique museum focuses on the theme of "Fort Leavenworth's Role in Westward Expansion," and exhibits one of the finest collections of horse-drawn carriages in the nation. The visitor will see the carriage that Abraham Lincoln traveled in when he visited Leavenworth; the sleigh owned and used by George Custer when he was stationed at Fort Leavenworth; and a Prairie Schooner which dates from 1790. A recent addition is a full-sized 1917 JN4D "Jenny" Bi-plane
