Prince George’s boasts many famous and unique African American historical sites that allow visitors and residents to explore the past, and celebrate our African American heritage. For over 300 years, African Americans have raised families and built communities that have been vital to the growth and development of Prince George’s County.
African American Heritage Brochure
Visit unique sites such as the Columbia Air Center, the first black owned and operated airfield that made history in 1941, and Blacksox Park, once the home to flourishing African American sandlot baseball teams.
Learn about the enduring strength of the African American people by visiting Belair Mansion, a large plantation built in 1747 with exhibits highlighting the significant role of the enslaved Africans and their lives on the plantation and working as jockeys at the famous Belair Stables.
Further discover the daily lives of slaves at The Mount Calvert Historical and Archaeological Park and Northhampton Slave Quarters and Archaeological Park, and experience their interesting exhibits. Visit The Charles Duckett Log Cabin at the Patuxent Rural Life Museums to get a rare and interactive glimpse into life in the 1880s. The museum includes a cabin built by a former slave and landsman in the Union Navy during the civil war, as well as a tobacco museum, a blacksmith shop, a tool museum and a 1923 Sears, Roebuck and company simplex house.
Visits to various historical African American churches show the enduring spirit and faith that still remains today.
