Summer is officially here and 4-H history is being made every day.
This is the season traditionally ultra-busy for 4-H’ers, and so it has been whether members were from 1916 or 2016. Your 4-H History Preservation Program is here to share some of the experiences of those 1916 (and earlier or later) 4-H’ers.

Thomas E. Wilson started promoting 4-H in 1918, used the International Livestock Show to reward young 4-H members, and basically started National 4-H Congress. His 1962 profile is here.

4-H History Map
It just keeps growing and growing with your continued local 4-H input! Hopefully, your local sites are already on there. But can you pass the 4-H History Map Quiz?

Girls’ 4-H Uniforms = Pants?
It started the same year that the 4-H pledge and the 4-H motto were officially authorized. Do you know where? And when?
Please enjoy our summer issue.
