Kansas State Flag. On a navy blue field is a sunflower, the state flower. Also, the state seal and the words KANSAS. In the picture of the state seal are thirty-four stars representing the order of statehood. Above the stars is the motto 'To the Stars Through Difficulties'. On the seal a sunrise overshadows a farmer plowing a field near his log cabin, a steamboat sailing the Kansas River, a wagon train heading west and Native Americans hunting bison.

SANTA FE TRAIL
1822 - 1872

One of a string of markers along the original trail. This trail started at Franklin Missouri (tying in with the Boone's Lick Trail). The two trails extended the "road" from the Missouri River to Sante Fe, New Mexico. In Kansas area a treaty with the Kaw Indians allowed relatively safe conduct.
