We all have a story to share. 76 years of memories, in the historical context of our day, live and grow within our museum.

​

It is a history of four counties of African Americans and the high school that shaped an entire region.  What is that high school?  The George Washington Carver Regional High School in Rapidan, Virginia.  What were the four counties:  Culpeper, Orange, Rappahannock, and Madison.

What's On Exhibit?






More Than Homemakers:
Stella Fleshmon and the Women Who Influenced  a Generation of Carver Students
Known as "the principal's wife," Stella Fleshmon was the head of the Homemaking Department at Carver for the school's entire 20-year history.  Her mentorship of younger teachers and stern demeanor left their marks on many students.

Liberty, Labor and Langston
In 1936, Langston Hughes wrote the poem,
"Let America Be America Again,"
which is the foundation for our new exhibit.  For a preview, click the PDF icon.  An expanded version is on view in the museum through December.
