Happy Birthday, Langston
Welcome to Black History Month at the Carver 4-County Museum. We are featuring prolific writer, John Mercer Langston Hughes, born February 1, 1901, in Joplin, Missouri.
He passed away in New York on May 22, 1967.
In 1936, he wrote the poem, "Let America Be America Again," which is the foundation for our new exhibit, "Liberty, Labor and Langston."

Welcome to the
​Carver 4-County
Museum
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.
We're a WINNER!!!
