The Brownsville Heritage House is a hidden gem nestled on the second floor of the Stone Avenue Library—one of the last library branches built in the city with funds donated by industrialist Andrew Carnegie. Visitors will enjoy a newly redesigned reading room showcasing melanated people of the diaspora. Donated literature, paintings, and private collections reveal a treasure trove of Black culture.
Guided tours of the facilities will be offered on an ongoing basis.
