Kansas: The Sunflower State

by P.E. Ryan

Glance at a map, and it's easy to notice the central location of Kansas. In fact, a stone shaft in a pasture in north-central Kansas marks the geographic center of the contiguous United States. For this reason, the state has been referred to as "Midway, U.S.A." See what else Kansas is known for in this fun and informative title.
