Distinctive Destinations: African American Historic Sites

Scholar. Soldier. Innovator. Artist. Baseball pioneer. These are only some of the ways that African Americans, their stories, and their contributions form an essential part of America’s cultural heritage. Whether you're celebrating Black History Month or hoping to hear America’s full history, learn more about black Americans’ accomplishments at these Distinctive Destinations.

This May, for Preservation Month, we’re celebrating the power of place—and the countless ways, big and small, that preservation creates. Preservation Month is our chance to show why our work matters!

Celebrate!
