Black History Month in Baltimore County

Celebrate Black History Month and honor the lives and legacies of many African Americans with ties to the area.

We encourage visitors and residents alike to explore the stories of legends like:

• Benjamin Banneker at the Historical Park and Museum
• Henrietta Lacks and her legacy in Turner Station
• Robert Curbeam, the NASA Astronaut hailing from Woodlawn

Sports fans should visit the Hubert V. Simmons Museum of Negro Leagues Baseball in Owings Mills and don’t miss the latest book by historian Louis S. Diggs, "African Americans at Rest in Baltimore County."

A trip to the Hampton National Historic Site in Towson reveals a report that traces the lives of people who obtained their freedom from enslavement, and sought a new beginning in the County and beyond.
