Along the Glacial Hills Scenic Byway, White Cloud, Leavenworth, Troy, Fort Leavenworth, and Atchison reflect a history tied to Native nations, westward travel, river commerce, and military presence. In 1804, Lewis and Clark rested on Missouri River bluffs at White Cloud on lands of the Iowa Nation; named for an Iowa chief, the town was incorporated about 50 years later and grew to more than 2,000 people as a steamboat port before railroad travel changed its fortunes. Today it has fewer than 200 residents, is known for its historic buildings including the entire downtown, served as a filming location for the 1973 movie Paper Moon, hosts the White Cloud Flea Market, and is the seat of government for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. Leavenworth, incorporated in 1854 as the "First City of Kansas" and a jumping-off point for the West, retains mid-1800s homes such as the 1882 Carroll Mansion, a 28-block historic downtown, riverfront attractions, and museums that include information on the Underground Railroad. Doniphan County and Troy preserve stories of three Native American tribes, the Oregon Trail, and Abraham Lincoln; Troy was platted in 1855, named after the ancient city, and grew along the wagon route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Oregon and California. Fort Leavenworth, founded in 1827, is the oldest operating fort west of the Mississippi and the post that opened the West, with historic homes and buildings, a National Cemetery established in 1862 by Abraham Lincoln, a Frontier Army Museum telling the area's story since 1800, and a Buffalo Soldier Monument dedicated in 1992 by General Colin Powell. Atchison rose on bluffs south of Independence Creek, where Lewis and Clark marked their first Independence Day in the West; incorporated in 1858, it became a commercial center served by steamboat, wagon, stagecoach, and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and is also known as the birthplace of Amelia Earhart. Across this region, the effort to bridge the American divide and connect the coasts shaped local history through routes such as the Pony Express, with a relay station at Troy, and through visitors including Abraham Lincoln who helped bring the area to national attention.
