Steve “scooped” me on this great find — a stone marker, erected in 1940, indicating the geographic center of the contiguous United State of America. This has been on my “to do” list for awhile; I just haven’t had the time to get to Kansas yet 🙂 Thanks for the submission, Steve!

Read more about the marker here and an interesting article describing its origins here.
