George Washington Carver worked at the Tuskegee Institute as an agricultural scientist and is best known for his work on encouraging the planting of peanuts and sweet potatoes. In 1943, a National Monument was established at his boyhood home. Carver was the first person who was not a president to have a National Monument dedicated to their life.
