Surrounded by nature yet near enough to town that food is easily accessible, this monument is an ideal location for field trips, hiking, and photography. With it's live animals, 18th century buildings, and forested path along an old creek, which provide an ambiance that is indisputably relaxing. It's also a fantastic place to learn some History as well.

First time going too Booker T Washington home place. Very interesting, it's free and a nice place to take the kiddos and learn about American history. I really enjoyed this outing today.

We came across this place while we were out on a drive and were really happy we did! Very awesome place to look around, there's so much history.

This is a great landmark to visit. It is very humbling and it's incredible to see how far America has come as a society, and how much there is yet to do. Booker T. Washington dreamt of a future where both races would be able to work together with a focus on education. I highly recommend taking the time to come here to be in the shoes of one of the most prominent and influential figures in the civil war era.
