Mystery Over Underground City in Kansas

Apparently, they've discovered something quite interesting beneath Leavenworth, Kansas.

www.kctv5.com...

The article does call it a "city" but from the description and the pictures it looks much more like an expansive storehouse. However, there were windows and doors so it does appear that some sort of business was conducted there.

The article also mentions about the possibility of use by slaves or fugitives. Kansas did enter the union as a free state but only after fierce fighting between pro-slavery and abolitionist forces. Whatever its use, its existence was hardly even known by people who had lived their whole lives in that area.

Hopefully, further investigation will yield additional information about the site though speculation is that the secret nature of the place may mean very little will be learned.

I'm going to say back in 1998-99 there was an article about some underground places in Leavenworth, in the Fort Leavenworth Lamp (weekly post newspaper).

Don't know if this particular place was listed but there are more than several old grotto's in the region dating back to the 1800's.
