Nature & Science

George believed all of life's problems could be solved through nature. His scientific exploration began when he was a child living on the Moses Carver Farm.

Today, the park service carries on his legacy by offering hands-on science lessons with students of all ages.
Jesup Wagon  

Did You Know?
The Jesup Agricultural Wagon was designed as a school on wheels. It traveled to the poorest farmers in the South who could not attend Carver's lectures on agriculture. The wagon would carry seeds for planting, jars for preserving foods, bulletins written by Carver, and many other useful items.
