REGIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM

Historic Preservation in Cornelia, Georgia

The Regional African American Museum of Northeast Georgia, Inc. was founded in 2010. We intend to preserve the cultural heritage of communities who attended the Cornelia Regional Colored School; an “equalization” school built and maintained by Boards of Education in Banks, Habersham, Rabun, and White Counties 1955-1966, to avoid integration of said county's high schools; prior to Brown v Board of Education.

We proudly announce that our collection will become a part of the Digital Library of Georgia, in the near future!

On March 11, 2023, our physical collection will be featured as part of the Habersham County Historical Society's 50th Year Golden Jubilee Celebration, on the campus of Piedmont University - The Commons - Demorest GA.

We hope to see you there!
