Clemson Area African American Museum

The Clemson Area African American Museum displays photographs, documents, and artifacts from the region's African American past. The collection covers multiple periods and aspects of this history through organized exhibit sections.

The building began as an elementary school for African American students in the early 1900s. It reopened as a museum to preserve this educational legacy and the community's history.

The museum tells the stories of African Americans who lived and worked in the region over generations. These narratives come alive through exhibits and community programs that visitors can experience today.

The museum is housed in a shared community building in central Clemson within walking distance of downtown. This location makes it easy to visit along with nearby cultural institutions.

The building itself is historically significant as the last school constructed specifically for African American students in this section of the county. This detail adds meaning to the museum experience beyond the exhibits.
