Overview
The Museum consists of two historical buildings, both from the time of the Underground Railroad: the Taylor Log Cabin, which was one the home of a formerly enslaved people, and Nazrey A.M.E. Church, National Historic Site of Canada. The site also contains a museum structure which houses the permanent exhibit and the Cultural Centre (used for the purpose of temporary exhibits, meetings, and rentals). Core programming includes both self-guided and guided tours of these buildings, educational programming for schools and other groups, and the showcasing of artifacts and exhibits which tell the story of African Canadians. The Museum also presents cultural events including Ribs & Ragtime, Emancipation Dinner & Dance and Golf Classic, and Christmas at the Black Museum. These events use music, a powerful educator, to showcase Black history and culture.
