The Gettysburg Black History Museum, Inc., located at 777 Baltimore St., is a very new venture in town—so new, in fact, that while it has a location, it is not yet filled. It is presently open for group heritage tours, and the museum itself is set to open for business in 2015, according to museum president Ron Bailey.
The museum’s mission, Bailey says, is to preserve, educate, and inspire. “We have all this [black history] here, and it’s not exposed. Why?” he asks. Bailey says that the museum will encourage people to discover what the past means to them today—it will be a vehicle linking the past, present, and future.
Call 800-447-8788 or 717-334-6020 to arrange a tour, or visit www.gettysburgblackhistory.org or www.facebook.com/gettysburgblackhistory.
