First City Museum

It is a new year and new effort is being harnessed in order to get the museum ready for visitor’s season. Many of you in greater Leavenworth can lend some of your time and talent in whatever capacity you wish. The original plans developed in 1988 by our Leavenworth Historical Museum Association are being implemented and include numerous topics that recall the history not only of the City of Leavenworth but also Leavenworth County. There is a large amount of newspaper, periodicals and books to be sorted. After sortation these artifacts will be placed in the new repository room within the Exhibit Hall West.

A partial list of items of interest include important personages, churches, public and parochial schools, banking and insurance industry, manufacturing, railroading, saloon and brewery businesses, and retail enterprises, among others. Visit the museum any morning between 8-11am and inquire about how you can help to make progress happen.
