George Washington Carver
Homestead Site
One mile south of Beeler, Kansas
From 1886 to 1889, George Washington Carver homesteaded a quarter section of land near present day Beeler, Kansas. One of America's greatest scientists, Carver revolutionized agriculture in the United States with his discoveries. From sweet potatoes and peanuts alone, he made paint, soap, wallboard, milk substitute, medicines, cosmetics and 500 other products.
Born in Missouri around 1864, Carver came to Kansas in 1878 seeking an education. He lived first in Fort Scott, followed by Olathe, Paola and Highland. In 1880 he joined friends to homestead near Minneapolis, Kansas, where he attended high school. In 1886, George Washington Carver moved to this location in Ness County where he built a sod house and worked his claim.

Address: Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
Date of Completion: 1890
Architects: Holland & Hopkins, Topeka, Kansas.
Cost: Between $34,000 and $75,000
Looking taller than its four stories (perhaps because of its 13-foot ceilings), this stone building was once called "The finest and most imposing structure west of Topeka." To many, it still is.
Ground limestone was added to the mortar to match the rock, giving the building the appearance of a structure carved from a single huge stone.
The 30-room building was furnished with an elevator, a rarity of the times - seldom seen outside of New York and Chicago
