NPS Photo 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."George Washington Carver National Monument, birthplace and childhood home of the famous agricultural scientist and educator, was established in 1943 as the first unit of the National Park Service honoring an African American. 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. Field trip packets are full of information for teachers and are also designed to help prepare your students for the visit to the park. Select from the activities in the field trip packet. Please view the field trip packets to find the best program for your group's curriculum needs. Each program features a ranger-led guided tour of the 3/4 mile trail, time to enjoy the interactive exhibits, a lunch break, and a ranger-led classroom lesson. The classroom lesson is what sets each program apart.
