Fort Leavenworth is an actual live fort, so they take their sweet time letting you in, but that’s understandable. Once they check ID and (for some visitors) cars, they hand you a map and direct you to the museum. The museum itself is a joy for any lover of Military history: well presented and documented, having some rare historical artifacts, like a sleigh made for General Custer following his own design. Custer was stationed here (as well as in Ft. Riley). A lot of work has gone into preparing exhibit truthfully reflecting the Frontier Picture: from the war of 1812 on. There is a whole big section on the Lewis & Clark expeditions, including some invaluable maps. It’s all free. And free of brainwashing too.

if you're there then go, but not necessarily worth going out of your way to get to this. Of course if you are visiting Fort Leavenworth then you are probably associated with the Army somehow so this would be something that you would enjoy and be of interest.

This was a great find on a short trip. We originally picked it to kill time until we needed to go to the airport. However, we should have allowed more time to spend here. The museum is small but you should allow at least one hour if not more to look around. There are a multitude of exhibits and you can use your cell phone as an audio tour. If you have any interest in history, military or otherwise, make this a part of your plan. (There are other points of interest within Fort Leavenworth that you can also visit i.e. the place where the Oregon and Santa Fe trail began. You can pick up a map at the museum).

Thismuseum chronicles the history of frontier exploration and features lots of artifacts, maps, key individuals, etc. It is located at Ft. Leavenworth and civilians are allowed onto post to go to the museum.

Excellent examples of historical period pieces on display here. Do not be discouraged by the looks from the outside. Go on in and you will be pleasantly surprised by the volume of items on display. From weapons to wagons to sleighs and airplanes. The whole visit was awesome.

If you are able to get on the base then it is a worthwhile trip to make if you are visiting the area. It is a short drive from Kansas City (30 minutes). The museum is bigger than it appears and gives a history of the base sand the area in general. There is no charge to enter the museum, so the value is outstanding.

This museum tells the history of the frontier army from 1804-1917. There are many artifacts and fascinating displays, and we found it to be very educational. There is a small gift shop where we were able to get some used books. Be sure to pick up information to take the Fort Leavenworth Wayside Tour, a driving tour that covers several historical points of interest. It's definitely worth your time if you are interested in American frontier history. Visitors must enter at the main gate and have ID ready. Be sure to stay in the right lane. We didn't, and by the time we saw the sign instructing us to do so it was too late. The guard was very polite, but it was a bit embarrassing.

This very informative museum tells the story of the U.S. Army on the frontier, from Lewis and Clark to the onset of World War I. Very well done exhibits and artifacts, some of them rare, tell the story in a modern way: not too much, but what is there is excellent and very well presented. Mule wagons, mounted cavalrymen and even an early airplane illustrate the Army's activities. There was a small gift shop with a good selection of appropriate books and souvenirs. Non-active duty personnel should note that you have to stop at security and do so at the far right hand lane; there's a sign telling visitors to do so but it's rather small. The gate guards will give you directions to the museum.

The exhibits examine the role that the Army played in the development of the West, from the time of the Lewis and Clarke Expedition, as well as demonstrating the methods used through time for the transport of men and materials. Still undergoing some renovation when I visited, the displays are well presented with enough explanation, that you gain an understanding without feeling overwhelmed.

The Frontier Army Museum (located on base at Ft. Leavenworth) is free and open to the public. My family really enjoyed our visit to the museum and saw a multitude of unique items that none of us at ever seen before. Their collection includes many pieces from the time frame of Ft. Leavenworth truly being an isolated western outpost up to (and including) World War I. Definitely worth taking the time to visit.
