This following poem appeared in The Leonardville Monitor newspaper on November 11, 1909: Welcome to Leonardville There is a spot in Kansas, most beautiful to see, This spot nestles in the bosom of Riley County fair Welcome to this spot, ye travelers here today. ________________
This poem was originally printed on cards and handed out by citizens of Leonardville to motorists participating in the Manhattan Motor Club's Sociability Run on November 5, 1909. ________________ Let’s be neighborly in our automobiles and go on a "Sociability Run" As
cars became popular in the early 1900's, automobile associations or
"motor clubs" were formed to further promote automobile use. These
motor clubs planned "sociability runs" or tours. Sociability runs were
taken to bring neighboring communities closer together. They also afforded automobile owners a great opportunity to see new places
and even promote their city or upcoming special events. |  To see historical information about: General Leonardville History The Railroad Leonardville Schools The Newspaper Church History Noteworthy Leonardvillians City of the Plains -- a Story of Leonardville Misc.
