African American Museum

A Community Engaged in a Broader Understanding of American History
About the Museum
Located at the National Historic Register-listed Mt. Zion AME Church in Skillman, NJ,
SSAAM is the only African American history museum in central New Jersey.
Our mission is to tell the story of the unique culture, experiences, and contributions of the African American community of the Sourland Mountain region.
Our hope is that visitors will find the museum to be a sanctuary alive in history, offering a glimpse into the past as well as a deeper understanding of the vital African American traditions that continue to be relevant and meaningful today.
