The New Orleans African American Museum is located in the Tremé section of New Orleans, a neighborhood that was home to the nation’s largest, most prosperous and politically progressive community of Black people by the mid-1850s. In the eighteenth century, the land was occupied by the Morand Plantation and brickyard, which was later acquired by hat maker and real estate developer Claude Tremé. In 1810, Tremé sold the land to the city of New Orleans, and it became home to many free persons of color. Today, NOAAM preserves the history and elevates the art, culture, and contributions of African Americans in New Orleans and the African diaspora through exhibitions and community engagement.
