Being in the middle of the continent and on a large plain, Kansas has some unique geography, and its human habitation has combined with those natural features to create some interesting folklore. Here are some of the highlights of the folklore of Kansas.
A farmer sent his son named Jack out to check the corn harvest. Jack was not very tall, so he brought a ladder, which helped him reach the first joint on a cornstalk. He proceeded to climb up the stalk and could see from the top that they had enough corn for a beautifully abundant harvest.
Jack tried to climb back down the cornstalk but discovered it was still growing while he was on it. It kept growing as he climbed down, such that he was never able to access the ladder. Jack’s dad discovered the boy when he went to check why Jack hadn’t returned to the house yet, and he gathered neighbor men to help him chop down the stalk. However, the stalk kept growing so much that there were eighteen inches between every chop they made.
Jack was forced to stay on the cornstalk until it stopped growing due to a drought. He made it down safely, eventually, with people sending food and drink up to him while he was there.

THE “ROCK IN THE ROAD” is a landmark in McLouth, Kansas. This large boulder of very hard, pink Sioux quartzite sits in the middle of the intersection of South Granite Street and East Lucy Street. It was dragged by a glacier from distant outcrops in the upper Midwest and left behind as the ice melted thousands of years ago. This ancient glacial erratic is surrounded by asphalt because it was simpler to pave around the rock than move it.
