THINGS TO DO
KANSAS SCENIC BYWAYS
Ray Miller Park, 4103 S. 4th Street

The Glacial Hills Scenic Byway gets its name from the rolling hills and rock-strewn valleys carved by ancient glaciers. The receding ice left behind a beautiful landscape and highly fertile farmland. It extends 63 miles north through the Glacial Hills of northeast Kansas. It traverses Leavenworth, Atchison, and Doniphan Counties. The route takes you to the communities of Atchison, Leavenworth, Troy and White Cloud.
2) Frontier Military Byway
The Frontier Military Scenic Byway extends along the eastern edge of Kansas roughly 167 miles, tying Fort Leavenworth to the north with Fort Scott in the south and then onward to the Oklahoma border. It follows K-5 out of Leavenworth to I-435, then follows U.S. 69 to the state line. The route approximates the old military trail used by the Army to transport troops and supplies between the frontier forts.

He’s especially remembered for his Harvey Girls, young women who “brightened the Harvey House restaurants with cheerfulness and impeccable service” and were glamorized in a 1946 movie starring Judy Garland and Angela Lansbury. This home was built in 1869 and purchased by Harvey in 1883, and it remained in his family until 1943.
NATIONAL VOTES FOR WOMEN TRAIL MARKER

LEAVENWORTH I MAKERS'
GUIDE
Agri-Tourism
We look forward to seeing Grinter Farms in bloom each year, but Leavenworth County’s agricultural community offers more than our favorite field of late-summer sunflowers. Agritourism adventures here can include workshops on honey bottling, apple canning, wildflower arrangement or even crafting that perfect holiday cocktail. You can commune with farm animals through a horseback ride, an alpaca yoga class or even a beekeeping session. Sip wines squeezed from Kansas-grown grapes, pick your own blueberries and pumpkins and navigate mazes made from towering cornstalks or a riot of pink and purple zinnias. You can even host your next big event in a rustic yet renovated barn, found on a farm established in the county in 1877.

Through the power of books and movies over the years Leavenworth and the word "prison" have became synonymous. Here are four prisons in the Leavenworth area, none of which allow public tours. Visitors can explore The First City Museum, 743 Delaware, which has extensive jail and prison displays.
JRCF - MIDWEST JOINT REG. CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Fort Leavenworth, (913) 758-4545
The J.R.C.F. began processing inmates in 2010. This facility is under the supervision of the U.S. Army Correc tions Command.
UNITED STATES DISCIPLINARY BARRACKS
Fort Leavenworth (913) 758-3707
The USDB, as it is known, was originally named the U.S. Military Prison. It was established by Congress in 1874 and has operated at the fort since May 15, 1875. This military prison was the first prison in the U.S. to offer vocational training for inmates. It is the only maximum-security military prison in the department of Defense, and has inmates from all the armed services. A new prison was completed in 2002.
LANSING CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Lansing, (913) 727-3235
Originally called Kansas State Penitentiary, the Lansing Correctional Facility (LCF) was built during and after the Civil War, from 1863 to 1868. The LCF was the state's first maximum security prison.
UNITED STATE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY
Metropolitan Avenue, Leavenworth (913) 682-8700
A special Act of Congress in 1897 began the construction of the United States Federal Penitentiary (USP) in Leavenworth. Inmates from the military prison at Fort Leavenworth began its construction, and the first cell house opened on 1906. The USP was completed in the mid- 1920s, and was the largest maximumsecurity prison in the federal system until 2005, when it was downgraded to medium security. www. BOP.gov
