Tucked behind the gates of Fort Leavenworth is a neighborhood unlike any other in Kansas. Tree-lined streets, stately brick homes, and wraparound porches nestled along the Missouri River —many of these residences date back to the late 1800s/early 1900s and still serve military families today.
During the annual Historic Homes Tour hosted by the Fort Leavenworth Spouses' Club, visitors are invited to explore a selection of these remarkable homes and learn the stories behind them.
All proceeds from this event will fund our grants and scholarship programs. Purchase your tickets before they sell out! Click this link:

Purpose of the Forum Series
The series goal is to foster “clear, fact-based information” and build “shared understanding, not just deliver information.” Participants will hear directly from district leadership and can engage in conversation about the challenges and opportunities ahead. The focus of each is the following:
Forum 1 — Understanding the Landscape
Where We Stand: The Realities Shaping USD 453’s Budget
Forum 2 — Exploring Options and Tradeoffs
Responsible Choices: Aligning Resources with Student Needs
Forum 3 — The Plan and the Path Ahead
Forging the Future: Decisions, Commitments, and Community Partnership
Why This Conversation Matters
The district emphasizes that “strong schools are a cornerstone of economic development and workforce preparation. This is part of workforce development, so business leaders should participate.” As Leavenworth’s education, business, and civic sectors continue to align around long-term community prosperity, these forums offer a space to understand how school decisions affect the broader region. The district notes, “the conversation is not only about challenges—it is about identifying pathways forward.”
Community Participation
USD 453 encourages broad participation, noting that “residents, business leaders, parents, and stakeholders are encouraged to attend and help shape the future of education in our community.”
For more information, please get in touch with USD 453 at (913) 684-1550 or the Chamber of Commerce at (913) 682-4112.

Each year, Stronghold hosts a Baby Shower to celebrate and support growing military families.
We know that welcoming a new baby, while beautiful, can also bring unexpected financial strain.
For military families navigating transitions, permanent change of station moves, separation from support systems, or seasonal uncertainty, the added pressures can quickly add up and bring added stress.
This special event provides essential baby items such as diapers, wipes, bottles, monitors, and more — but just as importantly, it creates space for connection, encouragement, and community.Because no growing family should ever feel alone.
If you’re a military family, register today:
https://www.strongholdfoodpantry.org/springbabyshowerWe can’t wait to celebrate and support our Stronghold families on April 26th.
Thank you to partners who make these events so special for our military families!Stronger together.
