Last weekend we visited George Washington Carver National Monument. It is located in Diamond, Missouri and it is a very small National Park. I first visited the park in 1979 when our 4th grade class visited on a field trip. I really loved the little museum, gift shop and the trail. I was happy that Teddy enjoyed it too. You can see him here next to a statue of the young Carver that you come across along the trail next to a nice little stream. So, next time you motor west (or east) on I-44 near Joplin, go just a few miles south on US 71 and take a small history and nature break.
