Owner:
Mennonite Heritage Museum, 200 North Poplar, Goessel, Kansas 67053
Remarks:
Built in 1974 for the Centennial of the arrival of the Mennonites in Kansas. The plow symbolizes the Isaiah verse, "And they shall beat their swords into plowshares," and the missing handle symbolizes how agriculture is performed through more complex and technical means. The wheat heads symbolize change. IAS files contain transcription of nearby plaque. For a related article see: Kansas City Star (MO), Aug. 3, 1974, pg. 3.
