The 1912 first yard of the oldest kibbutz in modern Israel — grass to run on, a living courtyard, not a plaque-only stop.

Dropped pin at Degania First Yard (built 1912): dining hall, first living house, barn, chicken coops. Coordinates are the driving pin. A petting zoo and grassy soccer fields sit nearby on kibbutz; they stay off the map until Brett drops a named pin — do not invent a soccer-field coordinate. The kids interactive experience is Gordon House, reached by walking the path past the mural of the old man gardening. Search Degania or Deganya.
