George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center
South Phoenix · Phoenix, Arizona
The George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center stands as the primary institution in Phoenix dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history, culture, and artistic contributions of the city's African American community. Founded in 1994 in the historically Black neighborhood of South Phoenix, the museum holds archives, artifacts, and artworks documenting over a century of African American life in Arizona — from the territorial era through the present day.
