Spady Cultural Heritage Museum
Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, African-American house museum in Delray Beach, Florida.
The Spady Cultural Heritage Museum is a house museum in Delray Beach that displays artifacts, photographs, and narratives about Black communities throughout Palm Beach County. The collection features both permanent and rotating exhibitions documenting their histories and contributions.
The building served as the home of Solomon D. Spady, a prominent Black educator, from 1922 to 1957. It was converted into a museum in 2001 to preserve his legacy and the history of local Black communities.
The museum displays exhibitions exploring African, Caribbean, and Haitian influences that shaped South Florida's development. Visitors see how these communities left lasting marks on the region's character and identity.
The museum is located on Northwest 5th Avenue and offers guided tours along with educational programs for visitors of all ages. An on-site research center supports those interested in exploring African-American history further.
The museum organizes specialized trolley tours that explore historical Black neighborhoods and landmarks throughout Palm Beach County. These tours connect the museum's exhibitions with the living landscape of the local community.
