Woodson African American Museum of Florida

The Woodson Museum opened in 2006 in the former community center of Jordan Park, St. Petersburg's first public housing community for Black residents, and is named for historian Carter G. Woodson. It tells the story of the city's African American community through exhibits, outdoor installations in its Legacy Garden, and free family events like holiday open houses. Plans are underway for a larger new museum on 22nd Street South.
