About This Site:


 
 
Much more than a building, this is the famous Tuskegee Institute, once the home of such great Americans as Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver and many more. Just three of the many inspiring things to see on this campus are:
 
The Oaks - The Booker T. Washington Home
Visit the home of Booker T. Washington who founded the Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers, later to become the Tuskegee Institute. Learn about the amazing man who overcame the barriers of color to make amazing contributions for the whole nation.
 
The George Washington Carver Museum
Exhibits, interpretive programs, a book sales area and two introductory films on George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington are available without prior reservations. These films are 30 minutes in length and shown upon request. While Carver worked to improve the economic conditions of African-Americans in the South, his impact was also felt across all of America and is still so today.
 
Tuskegee Institute Campus
The campus has been designated as a Historic District. The tour includes buildings that were built by Tuskegee Institute students and designed by Robert R. Taylor, the first African American graduate of MIT. A map of the District is available at the Carver Museum.
