Kids washing laundry with scrub board

These chidren are washing laundry the way George did so long ago with a washboard and lye soap.

Many activities at George Washington Carver National Monument are from the everyday life of the 19th century - like washing and drying laundry the old-fashioned way. These hands-on programs help us to imagine young George's life on the Moses Carver farm.
