The Museum of Afro-American History is New England’s largest museum dedicated to preserving, conserving and interpreting the contributions of African Americans. In Boston and Nantucket, the Museum has preserved four historic sites and two Black Heritage Trails® that tell the story of organized black communities from the Colonial Period through the 19th century.Exhibits, programs, and education activities at the Museum showcase the powerful stories of black families who worshipped, educated their children, debated the issues of the day, produced great art, organized politically and advanced the cause of freedom. In Boston, the African Meeting House is the oldest African Meeting house in America, and the adjacent Abiel Smith School is the first building in the nation constructed for the sole purpose of housing a black public school. Today, the Abiel Smith School galleries feature rotating exhibits and a Museum Store open year around. Self-guided walking tour map and guide available. Guided walking tours are offered daily Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, and other times by special request. The 1.6 mile (2.5 km) Black Heritage Trail® connects the 14 sites. The Museum of Afro-American History is just one of many Boston area tourist attractions and other things to do in Boston. MustSeeBoston.com is your online Boston travel guide.
