Heritage

The purpose of the 4-H Heritage project is to acquire knowledge, develop a connection to the past and share the story of a 4-H member's heritage and history around them. An exhibit may include items, pictures, maps, charts, recordings, drawings, illustrations, writings, or displays that depict the heritage of the member's family or community or 4-H history.

Area Rules – Heritage

Exhibits are entered at 4-H member’s own risk. We will not be responsible for loss or damage to family heirloom items or any items in this division.
Displays should not be larger than 22 inches x 28 inches wide. If the size needs to be a different size because the historical item is larger than 22 inches x 28 inches, please contact the superintendents for approval. Display collections securely in an attractive container no larger than 22 inches x 28 inches.
Exhibits must include NAME, COUNTY, AGE, & PAST EXPERIENCE (years in Explore Your Heritage, projects) on back of exhibit.
All entries must include documentation. When writing documentation ask yourself and think about how does this relate to my heritage or why is it important? Examples of documentation; birth dates, death dates, marriage dates, identification of individuals included in the exhibit, or stories related to the subject of the exhibit.
