    Learn the exciting history and contributions of George Washington Carver, the trailblazing scientist who devised hundreds of practical uses for sweet potatoes, soybeans and peanuts. Born into slavery, Carver overcame much adversity and went on to revolutionize agriculture and help lay the groundwork for today’s research on plant-based fuels, medicines and everyday products. The exhibit features dozens of historical artifacts, videos, interactive displays and re-created scenes that trace Carver’s modest beginning to world-renowned scientist.
