TUSKEGEE, AL – Congress approved a $2,844,364 rehabilitation budget for the George Washington Carver Museum. The George Washington Carver Museum will undergo rehabilitation work beginning this summer of 2022. The scope of the planned rehabilitation is as follows:  

1. Implement site and landscape improvements to the exterior of the building 

2. Architectural and structural improvements to the exterior envelope and framing 

3. Architectural improvements to the interior and exhibit areas 

4. Upgrades of the mechanical, electrical, security, fire suppression and fire alarm systems 

While the George Washington Carver Museum is closed, a temporary visitor center will be located at the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site inside the Skyway Club. This visitor center will operate on limited hours. Park Rangers will be located there to provide brochures and information about the Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site. Due to the extensive nature of the rehabilitation work to be done, the George Washington Carver Museum will remain closed until the work has been completed in the Spring of 2024.
