 "History Has Been Made,
Now It Is Up To Us To Preserve It"

Don't miss this cultural gem in the scenic city of the south. Just off I-24 and I-75,  north of Atlanta, the Chattanooga African American Museum is a motherlode of information about the African experience in the world, in America, and of course in Chattanooga.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Museum

The museum boast a unique collection of multi-media presentations, rare artifacts, African Art, original sculptures, paintings, musical recordings and local Black newspapers. At the time of its founding in 1983, sources in curricula, historical references, creative works, and the media about the identity of African Americans were limited and inaccessible to the average student or individual.
