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
The gift shop in the museum has a variety of souvenirs, from mugs
