Yesterday, I shared a post from CBS DC. The article is a discussion on African-American Museums in Maryland you can visit while you wait for the crowds to shorten at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture. The article said there are over a dozen African-American museums in the state. The article doesn’t list all the museums. I was curious so I did some research. Here’s a list of the locations I found:
1 – Prince George’s African American Museum and Cultural Center, North Brentwood, MD (Prince George’s County)
2 – Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture, Baltimore, MD (Baltimore City)
3 – Oakley Cabin African American Museum and Park, Olney, MD (Montgomery County)
4 – Howard County Center of African American Culture, Columbia, MD (Howard County)
5 – National Great Blacks in Wax Museum, Baltimore, MD (Baltimore City)
6 – African American Heritage House, La Plata, MD (Charles County)
7 – Banneker-Douglass Museum, Annapolis, MD (Anne Arundel County)
8 – African Art Museum of Maryland, Fulton, MD (Howard County)
9 – Harriet Tubman Museum and Educational Center, Cambridge, MD (Dorchester County)
10 – Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, Cambridge, MD (Caroline and Dorchester Counties)
