Bing Rooming House, African American museum in Plant City, United States.
The Bing Rooming House features exhibits, artifacts, storyboards, and documents that tell the story of African American life during segregation in Florida.
During segregation, this two-story structure served as accommodation for Black professionals, teachers, and baseball players, including Negro League star Satchel Paige.
The museum preserves local African American heritage through exhibits, photographs, and oral histories collected from community members throughout Plant City's development.
The museum opens Wednesday through Saturday, with specialized assistance programs for military veterans every Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The grandchildren of original owners Janie and E.L. Bing Sr. transferred the property to create this educational institution focused on regional Black history.
