Visiting this facility is nothing but unpleasant. I can't imagine the environment outside of the…read morevisiting area. I feel it's very important for our loved ones to receive visits from their children and their loved ones to keep them going strong mentally. But Leavenworth prison is far from kid friendly! There is no family area.. there is nothing for the kids to do. Typically, you would expect the visiting area to have games to play and enjoy while visiting with the inmates, but they provide nothing but games with over half of the pieces missing. Theres not even a simple card game like uno, or skip Bo. And the couple decks of playing cards that they did have, weren't even a full deck. They don't provide paper for the kids to color on, they just get paper towels. This makes it hard to enjoy the visit and keep kids entertained with there being nothing to do but eat from the vending machine, which provides nothing but snacks. So if you're planning a visit, Just be prepared to have plenty to talk about and for the kids to be bored out of their mind in this extremely small visiting room that has nothing to entertain the kids. You can really tell this facility does not care about the inmates or the visitors by how they treat you and what they provide.

This was my first time at Ft. Leavenworth (Jun 2015). We arrived at the visitor center for a guest…read morepass. You will need ID and car registration,( if driving). It was a bit of a wait. Roughly 45 minutes to an hour. We were not prepared for this, so I thought it worthy of mention. This is an active military base and not an amusement park, so a security check was not unreasonable. Once on our way we were treated to what amounted to a small, but beautiful town. The Missouri River could be seen gently rolling by the fort. There were historical buildings, parks, statues, monuments, cemetery, museum and much more. Our main goal was to visit The Frontier Army Museum. The exhibits and artifacts at the Frontier Museum were so empowering. The life like exhibits left little to the imagination and gave a vivid impression of what life was like. We marveled at the collections and agreed it was a miracle any of it had survived. I later found out there are a group of people that have founded, 'The Friends of Frontier Army Museum'. It is their mission to conserve, restore and purchase artifacts. Promoting the Living History here at, Fort Leavenworth. We felt so privileged to be able to step back in time and experience this history. It will forever be remembered with fondness. The reason for the visit was to trace my ancestry from Santa Fe, NM to Missouri. We started off with a train ride from LA, stopping in Santa Fe, NM to begin our tour of the Santa Fe Trail. We then restarted our trip by jumping back on the train in Santa Fe and ending in Kansas City, Missouri. Here we rented a car and headed for Ft. Leavenworth. Footnote: Back in 1846 my 3x Great Grandfather Harden Manning and his brother Jerman (JHB), fought in the Mexican War. The brothers followed Price from Missouri and mustered out of Fort Leavenworth. They then went along the Santa Fe Trail until they reached Santa Fe, New Mexico. After fighting for many months in the harshest of conditions, they became ill and were discharged home to Missouri.

Unfortunately, it is a destination for work and the many hours I spend on post are work hours so the enjoyment factor is recuced quite a bit. However, I have had opportunity to take my camera around and capture some amazing photographs. The Grant statue, the chapel, and all the areas around the North side of post that most people on travel never see are simply beautiful. The streets are narrow and not much traffic by the airport area but there is much to see back there. The golf course is great too. Had a chance to play there and had fun with all the hills and long rough. They had great rates for golf and rental clubs,

The snow plow does clear the snow in front of all our neighbors' homes, but it turns onto a side street before our residence. I reached out to the municipal center, but unfortunately, they were closed on Monday due to inclement weather. The answering service advised us to contact the police dispatch since the plow trucks were out. I called on Sunday night and again on Monday at 7:00 a.m. and again at 12:00 p.m., still not resolved. It's disheartening that this issue continues to be overlooked.

North Esplanade Park is a beautiful and peaceful park on the bluffs of the muddy Missouri River…read morefeaturing a grassy overlook and 14 historic residences as part of the North Esplanade Historic District. It is also the very first park in the entire state of Kansas (established in 1854). The park stretches four blocks along North Esplanade Street (between Ottawa St. and Seneca St). On the west side, you'll find a row of large (especially for the time) homes built prior to 1900. This is the street where the upper class of Leavenworth used to live back when it was called Main Street. The homes, yards, and park are remarkably well-maintained making this a favorite photo spot in Leavenworth. In the distance, you'll have a fantastic view Centennial Bridget connecting Leavenworth, KS with Platte County, MO. Whether you come for some memorable photos, a picnic, or to marvel at history, North Esplanade Park is a free and relaxing tourist excursion open 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Today was the first time that I took my children into the library to see what activities they…read moreoffered. I keep hearing about wiggle time and story time which sound like great programs. However, I will not be returning because while I was there only one employee seemed remotely friendly. The ladies who in the very back in what I believe in the teen section were not friendly at all. The one in the very first office in the back gave me dirty looks when our eyes met. Plus one of the patrons were giving my children dirty looks when we first walked into the building. I always thought the library was a place where everyone should be welcomed and that was not the feeling that I had while I was there.

Fingerprinting is already offered at very few locations, so it is unacceptable to repeatedly advertise this service without having trained staff available. Calling ahead is useless because no one answers the phone, which makes it impossible to confirm availability before wasting another trip. Either this location needs to properly staff the services it advertises or stop claiming that fingerprinting is available. Customers should not have to make multiple unnecessary trips because employees are unavailable and the phone is consistently ignored. This facility needs serious improvement in both staffing and customer service.

To be honest - it was my first time being inside of a 'research' library. It didn't take long for…read moreme to realize that their focus is on non-fiction books, articles, and study materials. They do have a small selection of fiction books though. I was originally concerned when I was looking for study books that my previous local library had, but this 'research' library didn't. I've filled out requests to get some books through their Inter Library Loan program, and I didn't have high expectations since I've tried it before at other libraries and my requests just sat in limbo. Yet, it seems they have a Inter Library Loan Technician and it seems that is all he does and I received an e-mail a week library that books were ready for pickup, that were shipped from a different state. Was thoroughly impressed. Not only that - but I submitted some purchase requests for some expensive books to assist me with studying for certifications. Not 1 - but 3 books were approved for purchase and was there in a few weeks. Quiet - numerous computers, and an ever growing library - and if they don't have it - they won't hesitate to ordering it for you! Oh and no late fees - can't beat that.
