Our archives contain historical documents, books, rare photographs, and videos. Our collection includes artifacts, newspaper ads for runaway slaves; obituaries; certificates of midwives and rural black doctors; photos and sketches of inventors such as Leonard Julien and Madame C. J. Walker in addition to politicians, soldiers, artisans, and entrepreneurs.
School and Church tour programs draw upon the universal appeal of music, art and history to promote an appreciation for diversity and encourage creative expression for children visiting the museum and area plantations along the Mississipi River.
