George Washington Carver's Log Cabin Birthplace, Drawn from His Memories in 1937
Add to SetSummary
An artist's rendering of George W. Carver's birthplace became the inspiration for the memorial that Henry Ford built in 1942 in Greenfield Village. E.J. Cutler, who managed building relocations, received this photostat of the drawing from Tuskegee Institute in 1937. It is not signed by Carver but, given Carver's artistic talents, he could have sketched the cabin from memory.
