George Washington Carver Memorial Park

George Washington Carver arrived in wintrset in 1888, discouraged, downhearted, and drifting. The friendship and encouragement he found here rekindled his dream. Provided new direction to his life and started him on the road to outstanding scientific acheivements and discoveries that enhanced the lives of millions. Honored by presidents and statesmen, courted by titans of industry, Carver clung to his simole philosophy " It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank that counts. These mean nothing, it is simply service that measures success"
