After our visit to the Tuskegee Institute a few years ago we
thought we would really enjoy our visit to George Washington Carver National
Monument. While we were not totally disappointed, we were a bit let down. That
is not to say we did not like the site, we somehow expected allot more. While
Tuskegee had allot more on Mr. Carver's scientific life, at his boyhood home it
dwelled more on his earlier life and his
love for nature.
The visitor center is
a beautiful building with allot of updated exhibits and very nicely done. One
can spend an entire day walking around the building reading and listening about
the life of Mr. Carver. When you are done inside take time to walk the trail
around the park. It is very peaceful and you will find yourself deep in thought
not only about Mr. Carver's life but yours as well.
In the end, George
Washington Carver NM and Tuskegee are two different aspects on the life on Mr.
Carver and you must visit both to get the entire affect of his life.
