Austin Parks and Recreation invites you to participate in community engagement for the George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center’s Facility Expansion Phases 1a and 1b. Your input will help shape welcoming, inclusive spaces that reflect our community’s diverse cultural heritage and vision. Through community meetings and surveys, you can share your thoughts on how the museum can best serve you and future generations.

Phase 1 improvements are identified in the George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center Facility Expansion Plan approved by Council in 2021. Phase 1a will explore relocating the administrative area to a new upper level to expand the available area for community-centric programming near the main entry. Phase 1b focuses on outdoor spaces and site improvements that include outdoor classrooms, renovations of existing public restrooms, and a new flexible event lawn with a covered pavilion. This project is in the community engagement phase.
