Business Description

Located in Annapolis, Maryland, the Banneker-Douglass Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in African American heritage. As the state's official repository of African American material culture, the museum is dedicated to preserving Maryland's rich and diverse history.

Named for two of the most prominent African American figures in Maryland's history, Benjamin Banneker and Frederick Douglass, the museum is housed in the historic Mount Moriah African Methodist Episcopal Church building, which was included in the Annapolis Historic District in 1971 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Visitors to the Banneker-Douglass Museum can expect a community-based approach to building collections and exhibitions, as well as a range of tours, public programs, and other services. Exhibitions explore the lives and contributions of African American Marylanders, from the colonial period to the present day, with a particular focus on the experiences of those who were enslaved, as well as the struggles and achievements of the Civil Rights movement.

The museum's collections include a wealth of artifacts and documents, ranging from letters and photographs to furniture and clothing. Among the highlights are a replica of Benjamin Banneker's wooden clock, which he made entirely by hand in the 18th century, and the original manumission document for Frederick Douglass, which gave him his freedom after years of enslavement.

Visitors to the Banneker-Douglass Museum consistently praise the institution for its informative and engaging exhibitions, as well as its knowledgeable and welcoming staff. Small but powerful, this museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history and culture of African Americans in Maryland.
