Fort Leavenworth

This is the oldest active Army post west of Washington DC.  Built in 1827 it is known as the Intellectual Center of the Army.  I have always found the post to be beautiful.  It sits on a bluff above the Missouri River and is covered by large trees, brick homes and appears so peaceful.  Perhaps not peaceful to those who live on the post.

That looks very lovely. Are you able to wander about the base?
