Share your input on plans for expanding the George Washington Carver Museum

The George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center is expanding its facilities, and community members are invited to share their input to “help shape welcoming, inclusive spaces that reflect our community’s diverse cultural heritage and vision,” according to the city. Updates are listed in the Facility Expansion Plan, which City Council approved in 2021. According to the city, “Phase 1a will explore relocating the administrative area to a new upper level to expand the available area for community-centric programming near the main entry” and “Phase 1b focuses on outdoor spaces and site improvements that include outdoor classrooms, renovations of existing public restrooms, and a new flexible event lawn with a covered pavilion.” Austin Parks and Recreation will host an online kickoff community meeting 10-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, on Zoom (register here), and an in-person meeting is planned for 4:30-6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10, at the Center, located at 1165 Angelina St. To keep up with project updates, sign up here.
