Downtown Leonardville (circa. 1915) 
There is a spot in Kansas most beautiful to see,
Where there's a thriving village good enough for you and me.
This spot nestles in the bosom of Riley County fair
Where we hear the birds a singing and enjoy the Kansas air.
Welcome to this spot, ye travelers here today.
For it is Leonardville, Kansas, U.S.A.
