Happy Kansas Day!

 

January 29, 2018 We’re 157 today–and still going strong. To help celebrate all that we are, the Kansas Sampler Foundation is pleased to share images showcasing half the counties in the state (A-L). We’ve provided page numbers to help you find these places in Kansas Guidebook 2 for Explorers. The M-Y county pictures will appear in the next few weeks!
