The exhibit also includes a selection of U.S. Department of Agriculture historical publications relevant to Carver's Bulletins. The exhibit has been subdivided into the following topic areas: crop development, farm management, homemaking activities, raising livestock, rural schools, and soil productivity, as well as a timeline of Carver's life and legacy including his namesake status of the USDA Agricultural Research Service's George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville, Maryland. | | | |
