Capitol - Kansas Walk of Honor

The Kansas Walk of Honor is located on the sidewalks on the Kansas State Capitol grounds. Begun by Governor Sam Brownback in 2011, the Walk features people who have contributed on a state and national level and have significant connections to Kansas.

Three plaques were added to the Kansas Walk of Honor on October 10, 2012.

Up to three bronze plaques may be added each year to the Walk. The Kansas Historical Foundation, a 501(c)(3), will serve as the caretakers of funds for the Kansas Walk of Honor. People can donate to this fund.  The Historical Foundation, which supports the Kansas Historical Society, a state agency, will establish the Walk fund so that people can offer donations to cover the cost of plaques. The cost for each plaque is $2,000 including shipping.
