Parks as Classrooms

Curriculum Materials

George Washington Carver said, " The thoughtful educator realizes that a very large part of the child's education must be gotten outside of the four walls designated as classroom." A variety of education materials have been combined in an education packet for classroom teachers and homeschool parents.

Field Trips

George Washington Carver said, "The thoughtful educator realizes that a very large part of the child's education must be gotten outside of the four walls designated as classroom." The park is an excellent setting for students to learn about George Washington Carver's life. Curriculum-based field trips are available for all grades K-12. We also offer Homeschool Education Days as well.

Traveling Trunks

During his years at Tuskegee Institute, George W. Carver designed and outfitted the first movable school, known as the Jesup Wagon, as an outreach to rural families who were unable to travel to the school. The George Washington Carver traveling trunk has a similar purpose, reaching out to children who may not be able to visit the park. Traveling trunks are available for loan on a monthly basis.
