Est. 1827
Fort Leavenworth is known as
“The Army University” and
“The Best Hometown in the Army.”
Berlin Wall Monument
This monument memorializes the historic barrier that separated West and East Berlin
during the Cold War. After the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989, concrete sections
were given to President Ronald Reagan by the U.S. Commander of the Berlin Brigade.
Three sections were subsequently donated to Fort Leavenworth because of the
worldwide influence of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. Open daily
to the public.
Buffalo Soldier Monument
Initiated by General Colin Powell, the Buffalo Soldier Monument was dedicated in 1992
to the memory of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments of the U.S. Army. These units
were comprised of black troopers who proved their bravery and valor throughout the
Indian Wars. They won the respect of the Cheyenne warriors who named them “Buffalo
Soldiers.” Open daily to the public.
