Welcome

Amherstburg Freedom Museum

The Amherstburg Freedom Museum is proud of the positive preservation and promotion of the “Black Thread in the Canadian Tapestry” that has truly educated and heightened awareness of the contributions and accomplishments of African Canadians.  We feel the integrity of Black Culture has been uplifted over the last four decades by the numerous heritage exhibits, stories, special events and publications covered by media, partnerships, research, and resource materials which have been compiled, catalogued and archived at our facility.

The museum, like many non-profit organizations, relies on the support of donors like you, who help keep the museum doors open so that we can continue to share our stories and educate the public about this important and often overlooked history.

We host many fundraising initiatives throughout the year, for more information about our fundraisers or how to donate or get involved please call 519-736-5433 or email us at curator@amherstburgfreedom.org.
