American Legion #1 Fountain
This American Legion fountain was dedicated at 9th & Main Streets. Ironically, the pipes supplying the spigots on each side of the shaft burst during the first winter in Kansas City and were permanently turned off. In 1958, when the city began a downtown redevelopment project, this fountain was moved to the intersection of Van Brunt Boulevard and Budd Park Esplanade.

Carl J. Dicapo Fountain
This fountain is named for Carl J. DiCapo, a restaurateur and civic leader. It is located in Kessler Park on scenic Cliff Drive in Kansas City’s north end. Converted and dedicated in 1989, the recirculating waterfall was constructed to draw attention to a natural spring with a rustic cliff side setting.

The Women’s Leadership Fountain
This fountain was the second fountain built in Kansas City, MO and is its oldest working fountain. It was completed in 1899 and designed by John Van Brunt and George Kessler. After a long period of non-use, the basin was excavated and repaired in 1970. In 1989, the Central Exchange took leadership in raising money for a partial restoration and named it The Women’s Leadership Fountain.
