Dunbar Carver Museum

Dunbar Carver Museum

The Dunbar-Carver Museum tells the story of African American life in Haywood County, TN through portrayal of events associated with the one hundred plus year existence of the Dunbar-Haywood County Training-Carver High School in Brownsville.

Brownsville has been a significant place in West Tennessee history since it was first founded by General Jacob Jennings Brown in 1812. Home to three National Historic Districts and four locations on the National Register of Historic Places, much of the town’s nineteenth century architecture remains.
