Stay Connected with AAHA
Our staff has been working hard to bring the museum and resource center to you! Our goal is to have our key exhibits available for you to explore virtually.
AAHA is headquartered in The Plains, Virginia and is open to the general public, schools and other organizations interested in local history and tracing their family and community records. AAHA is an organization designed for the purpose of teaching a complete and accurate history of the United States by including the influences of African Americans, Native Americans of both North and South America, and European Americans.
