Stoutsburg Sourland
African American Museum

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.
