Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument, National Monument in Wilberforce, Greene County, US.
The two-story brick house features a gabled roof with deep eaves and a T-shaped porch across the front facade of five bays.
Charles Young, born into slavery in 1864, graduated from West Point and became the first African American colonel in the United States Army.
The Buffalo Soldiers, African American cavalry troops, received their name from American Plains Indians and served in various military campaigns.
The National Monument offers educational programs, ranger presentations, and a Junior Ranger program focusing on Charles Young and Buffalo Soldiers history.
The residence, known as Youngsholm, functioned as a station on the Underground Railroad before Charles Young purchased it in 1907.
