Sandy Ground Historical Museum, African-American local museum in Staten Island, US
The Sandy Ground Historical Museum maintains documents, photographs, and artifacts that tell the story of free Black settlers in Staten Island.
The museum occupies a site dating from 1827 when freed African Americans established the first continuous Black settlement in New York City.
The institution preserves personal letters, quilts, rare books, and art collections that represent the heritage of Staten Island's African American community.
The museum building stands at 1538 Woodrow Road and accepts visitors through scheduled guided tours with advance reservations by phone.
