About this app

Welcome to African American Heritage Sites!

This mobile app will guide you through more than 1,900 African American National Historic Landmarks, Museums, Trails and other African American Historic Places throughout the United States and Territories.

There are four major categories for these sites:

African American Heritage Trails
African American Museums
African American National Historic Landmarks, Monuments and Heritage
Corridors
Endangered African American National Historic Landmarks, National
Register of Historic Places and State-Recognized Historic Sites

Each of these sites has a summary and direct links to additional information including virtual experiences of exhibits and educational lessons.

African American Heritage Trails: These Heritage Trails provide history and culture through driving and walking trails. These trails include information on guided and self-guided tours.

African American Museums: These museums range from nationally recognized museums to privately held local museums. Museum information includes current, past exhibitions and video galleries to explore on your own.

National Historic Landmarks (NHLs): Historic Landmarks hold national significance designated by the Secretary of the Interior. These places illustrate exceptional examples of U.S. heritage.

National Register of Historic Places (NRHPs): The National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

These four major categories are also cross-referenced in Sites by States and Territories.

You will have the option to view these sites by an Alphabetical List or by Google® mapping, which details the locations of all of these sites throughout the United States and Territories.
