As the “First City of Kansas,” Leavenworth offers a surprising mix of historic charm and riverfront beauty that makes for a unique, scenic assignment. You can spend your off-hours exploring the 28-block historic downtown, riding a vintage steed at the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum, or unwinding at local wineries and dining spots along the Missouri River.
For a change of pace, you are just a quick 30-minute drive from the world-famous BBQ, jazz clubs, and professional sports of Kansas City. The vibrant college town of Lawrence is also only half an hour away, giving you easy access to two major hubs for nightlife and culture while keeping a relaxed home base.
