ABOUT
THE OCAAHS
The Orange County African American Historical Society was founded in February 2000 with the mission to explore African American contributions to the cultural and historical heritage of Orange County, Virginia. The Society seeks to enhance and promote awareness of the accomplishments and contributions of people of African descent as organic and essential components of our community, and our nation, at large. Toward those ends, we endeavor to identify, research and preserve African American legacies, lore, and historical sites.
This exhibition is supported in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
