History & Culture
 

Replica of the birthsite cabin
Several items were found in an archeological dig at the cabin site. The items are on display in the Carver Museum,

When Moses and Susan Carver moved to Southwest Missouri they built a small 12' x 12' cabin. Eventually that same cabin was inhabited by a slave named Mary. She gave birth to George towards the end of the Civil War. Today visitors see the exact spot where the cabin once stood. A replica was built after the establishment of the monument.
