“Photographic Treasures of Leavenworth, Kansas” is a small photography exhibition at The Box Gallery. Located inside the Commerce Bank Building at 1000 Walnut Street in Downtown KC, the gallery is open Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm. Free.
On loan from the Leavenworth County Historical Society, this exhibit of historical photographs from the post-Civil War era reveals a notable segment of American history in surprising detail and reframes the rich legacy of Leavenworth in a new light. Step back in time and explore Leavenworth, the first city of Kansas, built on the edge of a new and exciting western frontier in 1854 when the Kansas Territory opened for settlement. With the arrival of steamboats and railroads, the population of the infant town exploded, becoming a launchpad of western expansion and an innovative, bustling American industry destination on the Missouri River.
Free admission.
