(From George Washington Carver National Monument)You are invited to mark your calendar for the 8th annual Storytelling Day at George Washington Carver National Monument. Set for Saturday, August 24th, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., this event celebrates the 108th anniversary of the founding of the National Park Service and focuses on stories about American culture and history. Stop by and listen as dynamic storytellers share stories of diverse experiences and special places and spaces. Our history is part of who we were, who we are, and who we will be.
This event will take place outdoors under a tent and is FREE of charge. Everyone is encouraged to bring a lawn chair and a sack lunch and stay for all the performances. Storytelling Day is co-sponsored by the Carver Birthplace Association.
