Elements of a Culture
 What is Culture?
Using the
Rural Culture Elements to Assess Your Town
"Many rural
communities squirm when asked, "What does your community have that a visitor would
want to see?" The answer (given too often) is, "We don't have anything in
this town." The truth is every town has a story to tell and offer visitors but
it is sometimes hard to see what is right under your nose.
To help a community see their story, the Kansas Sampler Foundation recommends that they
use the eight rural culture elements as a guide. Seeing your community with new eyes
can spur a new interest and energy within the town and lead to new ideas and efforts in a
manner that will help sustain a town."
