Jun 14, Levenworth Day Off

Levenworth is such a nice town. It even has a nice Dentist! While flossing Monday night a crown popped out! I was able to make an appointment for Tuesday morning and the crown is back where it belongs. Thank you Dr John!

More views of Levenworth.

Leavenworth is a town of just under 2000 people.  It started as a smaller timber community and in the 1900s became the headquarters of he Great northern Railroad. The Railroad relocated to Wenatchee in the 20s – crippling Leavenworth’s economy.  In the 60s two business men tried to figure out how to revitalize the economy.  They viewed Solvang, California (a town modeled after a Danish village) and traveled to Germany. After their return to Levenworth, thought to be named after a railroad person, it was decided to model Leavenworth after a Bavarian village. What a success!

Our very nice Levenworth hotel
