Summary

Description

Amherstburg Freedom Museum, previously known as 'the Black Museum' is located in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada. It is a community-based, non-profit museum that tells the story of African-Canadians’ journey and contributions, by preserving and presenting artifacts that educate and inspire. It consists of the Museum complex which houses permanent and temporary exhibits, the Taylor Log Cabin-a historic home, and Nazrey African Methodist Episcopal Church, National Historic Site.

The church was built by former slaves and free blacks in 1848, and was a stop on the Underground Railroad. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1998, and was restored and reopened in 2001.

Today, visitors from all over the world can tour the Museum, including the Taylor Log Cabin and Nazrey A.M.E. Church, both buildings from the time of the Underground Railroad. The Museum also provides annual cultural events including Black History Month programming, Ribs & Ragtime, the Emancipation Celebration and Charity Golf Classic, and Christmas at the Black Museum.
