The Kansas Courtyard at the National 4-H Center at Chevy Chase, MD.

In 1992, Kansas 4-H'ers took "a piece of Kansas" to the National 4-H Center. There, Kansas representatives and guests placed their piece of KS in the National Courtyard planters, combining soil from clubs in each KS county.

The 4-H Centennial web site was the source of the national pictures and comments (http://wwww.4hcentennial.org/) and the book Kansas 4-H, The History of Head, Heart, Hands and Health by Betty Lou Denton and Merle L. Eyestone for the Kansas pictures and comments.
