WVSU's academic colleges are being reorganized from four colleges to three. As we update the site to reflect this change, some pages and links may be in transition. Thank you for your patience.

Booker T. Washington Park

Booker T. Washington, after leaving the area, purchased a 2-story brick house for his sister, Amanda Johnson. It is located straight across from today’s Cabin Creek Quilts. Today, a beautiful park rests on the site of her home. The old bricks there are from her home.
