George Washington Carver National Monument

Boy Carver Statue, sculpted by Robert Amendola in 1960.
The young child known as the "Plant Doctor" tended his secret garden while observing the day-to-day operations of a 19th century farm. Nature and nurture ultimately influenced George on his quest for education to becoming a renowned agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian.
