In the Danforth Courtyard directly behind the central part of J. C. Penney Hall at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland resides two large, life-size bronzed statues on marble pedestals facing one another across the courtyard – often referred to as "The Typical Farm Boy" and "The Typical Farm Girl."
Gifts to the National 4-H Center by the Danforth Foundation, the two statues were created by sculptor Carl C. Mose. Now, well over 50 years old, this pair of statues, facing each other, continue to have a commanding presence in the Danforth Courtyard. The Art Inventories Catalog of the Smithsonian American Art Museums, in their "The Outdoor Sculpture of Washington, D.C., A Comprehensive Historical Guide," lists the twin statues.
