George Washington Carver National Monument*July 14th in 1943.
George Washington Carver National Monument is a unit of the National Park Service located about two miles west of Diamond, Missouri; the national monument was founded on July 14, 1943, by Franklin Delano Roosevelt who dedicated $30,000 US to the monument. It was the first national monument dedicated to a black American and first to a non-President.
The site preserves of the boyhood home of George Washington Carver, as well as the 1881 Moses Carver house and the Carver cemetery. His boyhood home consists of rolling hills, woodlands, and prairies. The 210-acre (85 ha) park has a 3/4 mile (1.2 km) nature trail, museum, and an interactive exhibit area for students. It is open year round, from 9 am–5 pm.
The park was meant to honor the life and legacy of George Washington Carver, the world renown scientist, botanist, educator, agronomist, chemist and inventor. Time magazine actually called him the “Black Leonardo Da Vinci”. One of the many reasons this site was chosen, outside of it being his birthplace, was because the rolling hills, woodlands, and prairies helped develop a love of nature and a yearning to understand nature in a young George Washington Carver. It was this curiosity and love that initially propelled him towards the path of greatness.

I made it out to the George Washington Carver National Monument. George Washington Carver was certainly more than the Peanut Man. This National Monument is a fantastic tribute to a great man that has overcome great odds for most of his life and his achievements in becoming a renowned agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian are one to celebrate! Be sure to put this place on your bucket list!

Control Burn, George Washington Carver, 11-19-2019
A very large controlled burn occurred at the George Washington Carver National Park.
The National Parks Service brought in their forestry and wild land crews and had around 80 acres that they burned off. This is something most don’t get to witness up close, and we were allowed to take some photos.
The location was the George Washington Carver National Park. It’s located in Diamond, Mo.
Prescribed fire is a planned fire; it is also sometimes called a controlled burn or prescribed burn, and is used to meet management objectives. A prescription is a set of conditions that considers the safety of the public and fire staff, weather, and probability of meeting the burn objectives.
Approximately 75-80 acres will be burned at the park, conducted under the guidance of National Park Service fire personnel. The objective of the controlled burn is to reduce wildfire risk and enhance the tall grass prairie through the reduction of fuel loads and woody species. Most of the park will remain open to visitors during the burn, although temporary closure of the Carver Trail will be necessary to ensure visitor safety. The burn is expected to last one day.
