Kansas 150

The 150th anniversary of Kansas statehood is a grassroots effort of Kansas communities, organizations, and agencies to mark the state's entry as the 34th state in the Union on January 29, 1861.

The Governor's Cultural Affairs Council is coordinating planning efforts: Kansas African-American Affairs Commission, Kansas Arts Commission, Kansas Film Commission, Kansas Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission, Kansas Historical Society, Kansas Humanities Council, Kansas Travel and Tourism, and State Library of Kansas.

The public is invited to participate in this grassroots effort. For more information contact Mary Madden, Kansas Historical Society, 6425 SW 6th Avenue, Topeka KS 66615-1099; mmadden@kshs.org.
