Description

The APEX (African American Panoramic Experience) Museum is a great place to go for a lesson in African American history. It features wonderfully detailed exhibits and displays about scores of unsung African American heroes and the history of their influence on America today. The museum was founded in 1978 by Dan Moore, and has hosted thousands of visitors from the United States and around the world who come to better understand our country's rich heritage. Visitors get the chance to see exhibits that touch on such topics as "Black Inventors", slavery, and honorable African Americans who have left their mark on history. APEX also puts on many programs throughout the year for schools and other groups, both on-site at the museum and through their popular traveling exhibit program.
