Carver Day at the Carver National Monument is going digital this year, due to COVID-19. The event was originally set for July 11.

Instead, the National Park Service will present a week's worth of videos, stories, historic images and more on its social networks and website.

The programs will run through July 14, when the 77th anniversary of the park's establishment will be celebrated.

The Diamond park, named after the famous botanist, is the first national park to honor an African-American.

The great scientist and humanitarian George Washington Carver, our organization’s namesake, was born in Diamond, Missouri.
