SUMMARY:Frontier Army Museum: History of Fort Leavenworth Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the CAST Senior Center every Tuesday afternoon for our free virtual programs! Everyone is welcome to attend\, and no preregistration is required. Presented by the Senior Learning Network. From the "Gateway to the West" to "Intellectual Center of the Army". With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803\, roads for commerce and travel began to spring up. These new roads\, such as the Santa Fe and Oregon Trail\, and movement into the west required the US Army to begin setting up forts and posts on the trails. In 1827 Colonel Henry Leavenworth was handpicked to establish a new post along the Missouri River. The post would provide an escort along the Santa Fe Trail\, to protect the western frontier and be a show of force to the Native American tribes settled in the area. Colonel Leavenworth\, with the officers and men of the 3d Infantry Regiment from Jefferson Barracks at St. Louis\, Missouri were assigned to locate and establish a permanent cantonment. The location of the post was selected in 1827 and it is currently the oldest continually operating post west of the Mississippi River.
