RIVER CITY CONNECTION TOUR
|
|
|
The rich history and heritage of the Leavenworth-Lansing
and Fort Leavenworth community is closely tied to it's sister
river towns of Atchison, Kansas and Weston, Missouri. Located
in close proximity, the three combine to form the vivid tapestry
that is "THE RIVER CITY CONNECTION".

Many riverboats tied up at the Leavenworth
levee in the city's early days. One was the "Lewella,"
photographed about 1880, bedecked with tree boughs in
celebration of the Fourth of July, and selling ice cream
and lemonade from a stand near the vessel's bow.
|
|
Located just 45 minutes northwest of Kansas City, these three communities
are eager to share their warm hospitality and unique history and
heritage. So be prepared to 'STEP BACK IN TIME' to the 19th century
and learn how our forefathers played important roles in the development
of the western United States. |
