The Wheathead Letterbox honors the many small town Kansas wheat farmers who endure long hours of summer heat to give us our daily bread. To my knowledge, it was the first letterbox to be placed in the state of Kansas. It is located at the Geographic Center of the 48 Conterminous United States, one mile north and one mile west of Lebanon, Kansas.   (39° 49' 41'' N;   -98° 34' 46'' W)

Welcome to the very Hub of the Heartland. Come inside and take a moment to give Thanks for the Daily Bread that this Land provides. Before you go, please share a kind word with the folks who've provided this meditational outpost. The Wheathead Letterbox is just outside and to your right.
