The building's history provides a unique insight into the educational and social conditions of the time.
Transformation into a Museum
Since 1996, the former Carver High School building has been repurposed as the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center. This transformation has allowed the building to continue serving the community, now as a hub for cultural and historical exploration.
Historical Recognition
