We welcome visitors who are interested in exploring Jacksonville’s rich African American history and the stories preserved within the Jacksonville African American History Museum. Because our museum is operated by a small team of dedicated volunteers, visits are scheduled by request to ensure someone is available to provide access and answer questions.

Wed / Sat / Sun (only)

Please review our seasonal hours and dates of operation below, then submit the visitation form with your preferred date and time.
A museum representative will follow up to confirm availability and finalize your visit.

Your visit helps keep these stories alive.
