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.

- Exhibits are entered at 4-H’ers own risk. We will not be responsible for loss or damage to family heirloom items or any items in this division.
