Historical Photos: National 4-H Congress

• National 4-H Club Congress Delegation 1932 (3707 KB). This unique  photograph measuring 38″ by 6″ shows the entire national delegation attending the National 4-H Club Congress. Several names are recorded on the back of the photo–Lorraine Chamberlin (best all around 4-H in the state), Ellen Dirr (healthiest in the state), Mary Ellen Lovelace (best 4-H seamstress), Grace Warren (home demonstration agent), Flavia Gleason (state agent). This photograph was donated to the State 4-H program by Mrs. Lorraine Chamberlin Howell’s family, upon her passing in 2001. Over time the photograph developed a crack and has weathered with age.

Many of the photos from the 1950s and 1960s featured on this page were provided by Mrs. Louise Brown, widow of former state 4-H leader Woodrow W. Brown. We thank Mrs. Brown and the Howell family for sharing their memories and photos with all of us. We are continuing to add to our collection and have not yet scanned many of our more recent photographs. If you have a photograph to share from a Florida delegation to National 4-H Congress, please send an email message to Shaumond Scott
