"The Forefathers and Mothers of Leavenworth" was painted in 2015 by local artist Nancy Bauder. The figures depicted in the mural are Abraham Lincoln, who visited the city in 1859; Sister Xavier Ross, who led the Sisters of Charity here in 1858 and founded the school that would eventually become the University of St. Mary; a Plains Indian; a Buffalo Soldier; and the city's namesake, Henry Leavenworth.
