Tuskegee lies across the rolling terrain of Alabama’s Black Belt, where the region’s dark, fertile soils helped shape an agricultural and educational center. Tuskegee National Forest extends north of the city, adding longleaf-pine woodland to the surrounding landscape. Booker T. Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal School here in 1881; it developed into Tuskegee University, closely associated with the work of agricultural scientist George Washington Carver. The city also preserves the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, whose World War II training story is interpreted at Moton Field.
