The New Orleans African American Museum of Art, Culture, and History (NOAAM) was founded in 1996 under the guidance and extensive support of the City of New Orleans Department of Housing and Neighborhood Development.
NOAAM is located in the Tremé section of New Orleans, a neighborhood that was home to the nation’s largest, most prosperous and politically progressive community of black people by the mid-1850s. Currently the museum is operating out of the administrative building located at 1417 Governor Nicholls St, as we work to fundraise and reopen our entire historic campus.
Since our grand re-opening in April 2019:

The Mission of the Friends of Jerusalem Mill is to inspire the public to engage in our shared history through the exploration and preservation of the history of Jerusalem Mill Village and the surrounding Little Gunpowder Falls Valley, from its prehistoric origins to 1961. We achieve this by working in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to preserve, protect, restore, research, collect and interpret the Village’s historical, cultural, environmental, and natural resources, while providing creative educational opportunities for all ages.
