Description:
The Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site contains the campus of Tuskegee University, a historically black university founded in 1881. Opened as the Tuskegee Normal School, it was created by the combined efforts of a former slave and a former slave owner. The school has been associated with many prominent African Americans, including Booker T. Washington who was the school's first president, and George Washington Carver, who was one of the school's early professors. Still an operating university, the historic site contains attractions such as the George Washington Carver Museum, dedicated to exploring the life of this inventor and Booker T. Washington. Take a guided tour of Washington's residence, the Oaks, or simply stroll around the campus's historic buildings. Located in the town of Tuskegee, the school is not far from the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site.
