Review:

Leavenworth, Kansas was the state’s first incorporated city when the state was formed in 1854, popularly known as the “First City of Kansas.” Located half an hour from Kansas City along the western bank of the Missouri River, the city is most famously the site of the 1827 Fort Leavenworth, an important military site connected to the settlement of the American West and the history of African-American refugees prior to the American Civil War. Major cultural attractions include the city’s restored C.W. Parker Carousel and the Richard Allen Cultural Center and Museum, which highlights the contributions of African-American pioneers in the region. The city’s 28-block historic district also offers a wide variety of eclectic locally-owned shops and restaurants.
