Uncover Untold Stories
Donate Today, Preserve History and Inspire Generations
We invite you to join the movement to support the Huntington African American Museum as we work to preserve, celebrate, and share the rich history, culture, and contributions of African Americans in Huntington and beyond. Through exhibitions, educational programs, community partnerships, and cultural events, the museum will serve as a welcoming space where stories are honored, history is illuminated, and future generations are inspired.
With your generosity, we can build a place where people of all backgrounds come together to learn, reflect, and deepen their understanding of the African American experience and its lasting impact on our community. Whether you make a one-time gift, become a sustaining donor, or partner with us through sponsorship, every contribution helps bring this vision to life.
The easiest way to support the museum is to make a secure online gift. Your contribution helps advance exhibitions, educational programs, and the development of the museum.

Where Culture & Community Thrive
“Legacy is not what’s left tomorrow when you’re gone. It’s what you give, create, impact and contribute today while you’re here that then happens to live on.”
