(Diamond, MO) – George Washington Carver National Monument is excited to invite the community for their 8th annual Storytelling Day. Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 24 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm as 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 tales 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 as they stay for all the performances!
Storytelling Day is cosponsored by the Carver Birthplace Association.
