Clemson Area African American Museum

Clemson Area African American Museum

In 2002, the vision for a museum and cultural center to document the accomplishments of African Americans around the Clemson area was shared by local residents.

Work began to make this vision a reality, and in August 2007, a diverse group of local residents, along with graduates from the former Calhoun Elementary School and volunteers from Clemson University, joined together to establish the Clemson Area African American Museum.

Clemson Area African American Museum collects and showcases the historical achievements and culture of African Americans by serving as a resource center for the Greater Clemson Area to engage the local and upstate communities in intellectual discourse about the past.
