The George Washington Carver National Monument offers some insight into the man who was once known by the nickname of the “Plant Doctor.” George Washington Carver would tend to a secret garden while he observed the daily operation of a farm of the nineteenth century. Nurture and nature influenced Carver on his journey for education, leading him to become a renowned humanitarian, educator, and agricultural scientist. The Carver Trail is a an easy, one-mile hike through the park. The loop is self-guiding and leads visitors through tallgrass prairie, across streams, and through woodlands. Activities for children are offered as well.
