George Washington Carver memorial

Henry Ford built this cabin in 1942 as a lasting memorial to his friend and fellow innovator, George Washington Carver (1865-1943). Carver, born into slavery on a Diamond Missouri farm about 1865, was educated at Iowa State College and lived to achieve great fame as an agricultural scientist and educator at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama.
