(Featured in the Leavenworth Times)
Since the founding of
Leavenworth, there have been two institutions that have
played an integral role in defining what the community looks
like.
The first institution is the United States Army, which has
long had a military fort and college on the city’s northern
edge. The other is the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth,
which has looked out for the welfare of all of the city’s
residents since the middle of the 19th Century.
Although the pair might seem like an odd combination, most
residents would agree that the arrangement has worked out
quite nicely for the city.
