The George Washington Carver National Monument was established by an act of Congress in July of 1943. The National Park Service maintains 210 acres of the original 240 acre Moses Carver Farm.

        George Washington Carver's boyhood home consists of rolling hills, woodlands, and prairies. The 210 acre park has a 3/4 mile nature trail, museum, and an interactive exhibit area for students. The cultural setting includes the 1881 Historic Moses Carver house and the Carver cemetery. The Park is open year round, from 9am - 5pm.

        The monument is located in Southwest Missouri approximately 2 miles west of Diamond, MO. To see a map of the park or of the surrounding area, click one of the options below:
