Through the Eyes of George Washington Carver – The Student & Artist

Carver, the student, came to Iowa State at the suggestion of Etta Budd, former Farm House resident, and was clearly impacted by the professors and leaders he met as catalogued in a six-page letter written by Carver to Louis Pammel in May 1921. Tour the Farm House Museum with curator Allison Sheridan highlighting the objects on exhibition in “George Washington Carver, The Student & the Artist.”

Free program open to the public.
