I grew up in southern Missouri, and occasionally my family would go to the George Washington Carver National Monument. It took me a long time to understand the first President of the country wasn't into growing peas.
That having been said, George Washington Carver was a great scientist and his research has had a terminations impact on agriculture.

Reply to TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain
