About this audio guide
This guide to the George Washington Carver Museum in Austin traces one modest building through a forced move, a renaming, and a physical transformation. It opens with the small library built downtown in nineteen twenty-six for white readers only, then follows what happened when the city needed that site back years later. You will hear how the structure ended up on Angelina Street in East Austin, and grew into the first African American museum in Texas.
