Boy with Frog |
Located at the farmstead's main entrance, this life-sized sculpture of a two-year-old perched atop the stones in the waterfall holding a frog. This piece was donated by the Overland Park Arts Ambassadors, a division of the Overland Park Arts Commission, at no cost to the city. Local sculptor Tom Corbin designed the sculpture.
The Boy and Frog Fountain, a bronze and Verona marble fountain, is an original by Rafaello Romanelli of Florence, Italy. It was purchased in 1928.
Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead is a 12-acre park that opened in 1978.

The fountain was a gift of the Nichols Company, which reported that the fountain dated from the 17th Century and had been first placed at an Italian villa near Siena. However, for the eighty years prior to its placement in Kansas City, it had been in an English estate garden and was purchased by the Nichols Company.
