About this place

This Houston museum tells the story of the Buffalo Soldiers and African American military service from the American Revolution through the Persian Gulf War, using artifacts and memorabilia collected by founders Paul and Barbara Matthews. Families can explore exhibits covering major conflicts including the Civil War, the Indian Wars, and both World Wars, along with a rotating Military Inspired Art exhibition that showcases work by veterans and active-duty service members alongside other artists. The museum grew from a personal collection into a nonprofit heritage center, officially registered as the Center for African American Military History while operating under the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum name. As of the latest update on the museum's site, the historic building is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation as part of a capital campaign, so visitors should check current status before planning a trip.
