George H. Hodges - Olathe, Ks. - Kansas Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

This bronze plaque on a concrete and stone plinth is located in Olathe Civic Park. The plaque is approximately 3 and 1/2 feet off the ground. The pictures of both George H Hodges and of an old schoolhouse - both are in low relief. I believe that the marker was set by the City of Olathe.
