I don't see why the National Parks service doesn't change their designation nomenclature. I realize that "monument" is a rank, not truly a description, but calling the GWC site a monument doesn't do it justice. There is so much to see and do here.

While driving north from Arkansas to Kansas City, I noticed a sign for this memorial, and since I needed a driving break, I stopped. I'm so glad I did.

While still half an hour on the clock, the staff wanted to close up so they recommended we go outside and visit the... More

Boy I'm glad I went! I learned lots about Mr. Carver. All I knew before I went was that he was the peanut guy. He is truly an American Icon! He did so much for agriculture that I'm guessing we will never know how much he really did. Of course he did it all in the face of adversity and... More
