166) Booker T. Washington National Monument

Visited: Wednesday, September 11, 2024

The visitor center was in a bit of disarray due to ongoing - apparently ongoing all summer - HVAC work, but that didn't detract from the story of Washington.  Nice movie, nice site with reproductions of the cooking house where he grew up with his mother and two siblings.  I appreciate the choice to simply leave the foundation of the plantation home in place, while recreating the buildings that played a role in Washington's early life.
