The African Meeting House and Abiel Smith School on Beacon Hill, both built in the early 1800's, are two of the Museum of Afro-American History's most valuable assets. Located in what once was the heart of Boston's 19th-century African American community, these buildings remain a showcase of black community organization, and enduring testimony to black craftsmanship.
Historic restoration work was completed on the African Meeting House in 1987, returning the building to its appearance in the 1850's. Once a church, a school, a vital community meeting place, the African Meeting House is open to the public.
Renovations on the Abiel Smith School were completed in February 2000, transforming the building into a first-class exhibit space with a gallery, classroom and museum store.
