1. Resting Places Marker
Just inside these walls you can find the markers for the couple who homesteaded this farm from the 1830s and raised young George - Moses and Susan Carver. They rest here among neighbors from the Brown, Davis, Dunn, Ellis, McGinnis, and Williams families.
Moses Carver allowed neighbors and kin to be buried here on this land. A loose-laid rock wall once kept livestock from disturbing their graves.
George Washington Carver died in 1943 at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. His earthly remains rest there in a place of honor, not far from Tuskegee Institute's founder, Booker T. Washington.
