Daffodil Hill

In 1989 58,175 daffodil bulbs were planted as a living art installation - one flower for each U.S. service member killed in Vietnam. The installation was designed by Kent State Professor Emeritus Brinsley Tyrrell as a way to honor both the fallen anti-war protestors and Vietnam War soldiers. In the spring months tens of thousands of yellow daffodil bulbs continue to bloom on this hill.
