So many times we have driven by the sign for the George Washington Carver National Monument but we had never taken the time to go see it.
We decided it was the day to do it. We had no reason to hurry home.
He began his life as a slave child.
Slaves were freed during his lifetime and he wanted to learn all he could. He walked miles to find a school/college.
He was a godly man. There is his Bible!

There was a trail we could walk around to see where he grew up. This plot is where the slave cabin was where he was born. The cabin no longer exists, but it is the place.

The Moses Carver home
The trail ended at the graveyard of the Carver family.
There were several plots for small children and babies.
We were so glad to have gone out of the way to see this place!
